Sunday, October 23
Aircraft schedule:
- 0800: G-III PRISM preflight begins
- NET 1030: G-III SF5 takeoff (weather permitting)
- 1100: Preflight meeting for B200 SF13
- NET 1200: Twin Otter SF7 takeoff (weather permitting)
- NET 1200: B200 SF13 takeoff
Ship and in situ plan:
- CTD casts every 8 hours as floats periodically surface. Floats to be recovered Monday completing the fourth drift survey.
- EcoCTD sections as possible.
- Underway sampling during MASS and PRISM overflights. Coordination between BH and MASS for a line directly under one of the MASS lines is highly desired. Luc will provide MASS kml in AM.
- Saildrones are setting up farther “downstream” (to the east).
- Wave Gliders will continue conducting cross-front surveys and will set up a triangular array (perhaps on the south side of the front).
Science team meeting schedule:
Updates:
- With sea state conditions not as bad as expected, Bold Horizon will remain deployed in the ops area. However, science operations may be reduced.
- Go to https://smode.whoi.edu/smode_netlink.kml for a Google Earth view of the real time autonomous platform positions.
- Autonomous platform planned tracks are now incorporated into Google Earth in the KML share folder of the S-MODE Drive
