These replaced older 386s and are part of our computer upgrade program. A 1.2-GIG disk was installed on the Novell server. This information will be used for further development. As expected on a record-breaking core recovery, paleoenvironmental leg, core sampling was heavy. Half the intensive sampling was deferred to a post-leg sampling party in Bremen, but still over 26,000 samples were taken on the ship.
Many people are interested in high-resolution isotope analysis.
Close to 1000 boxes of core were recovered, and these not only filled both the Hold and Lower Tween refrigerators, but the excess core boxes were stored on the gym floor. This is only possible in the high latitudes where the temperature in the gym is colder than the temperature in the refrigerators. Large amounts of methane were encountered at a couple of sites, so there were the associated gassy, expanding core problems. The gas and the cold temperatures also resulted in broken, shattered, and split liners. Four of these runs were dedicated bottom-water measurements.
