The
science team held yet another PRISM seminar today after lunch at 13:00rs local
time and this time it was given by Blair Greenan (Bedford Institute of Oceanography)
on Mixing and Upwelling in a Sargasso Sea Mode-Water Eddy. Blain and his team
will be duplicating the same experiments here in the Ross Sea using a number of
sensors mounted on a seahorse. While awaiting to get to our sampling site in
the Ross Sea, everyone in the science team is doing pretty much their own stuff
in preparation for the big event. The Hydrography group, which I belong to, has
been involved with ping editing of multi-beam ADCP data, running tide
prediction models (global and for the Ross Sea) and working on some related
data collection protocols. Tomorrow our group, together with the plankton and
primary production groups, will partake in a demo CTD/sample collection for
nutrients, salts, oxygen, chlorophyll , protein, etc. analysis.
Tomorrow
night, among other things, around 10:30pm local time we will be celebrating the
end of the year and the ushering in of a brand new one!
Happy
Holidays everyone!
