Monday, October 24
Aircraft schedule:
- 1100: G-III SF6 takeoff
- NET 1100: Twin Otter SF8 takeoff
- 1200: B200 SF14 takeoff
Ship and in situ plan:
- Lagrangian floats could be recovered Tuesday and will make one final survey later in the week. There will be a radiometer survey after the floats are recovered.
- EcoCTD operations to resume after being suspended due to sea-state conditions.
- 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.
- CTD casts attempted at the location of the float surfacing - at 8h intervals.
- Radiometric buoy measurement from the Bold Horizon possible.
- Saildrones continue moving their line to adjust for frontal movement.
- Wave Glider triangles and lines continue to adjust position to track frontal movement.
Science team meeting schedule:
Updates:
- This was a spectacular day for S-MODE science. There is an outstanding target - a sharp front in the southeastern part of the ops area - that all in situ assets are well-positioned to survey. Additionally, all three aircraft surveyed the area on a cloud-free day.
- The S-MODE team is diligently tracking the feature to set up for another great science day tomorrow.
- 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
