SRVI1 : data from groundtruth CT updated

I've updated the table of readings from the times when the CT "Groundtruthing" instrument was connected to the CREWS station in St. Croix. Note that 3/15 was the maintenance trip when the CT, CTD and BICs were originally configured and programmed; 6/30 was the maintenance trip to repair the two malfunctioning BICs; and the CTDs were switched out during the 7/22 visit. All other data are from maintenance visits by Dave Ward.

Note also that the timing of the CT connection has been perfect for the last two visits on 7/22 and 8/16, giving us a full hour of CT readings before, during, and after maintenance. Our thanks and appreciation to Dave Ward for paying such close attention to the timing!

This information is being sent out by email and also posted to the SRVI1 blog.

Bleaching status update

This (below) is a 2-meter transect on each side of the cable just like last year.

We also changed out the CTD and ground truthed. Let Mike know that the lightning rod came off and broke a blade on the Northern most wind bird.
