The IES signal was picked up on the 12 khz recorder. Skies were mostly clear with light winds and calm seas. Continued testing of the PC laptop and continuing problems with CTD DO sensor drift. The winds have increased and turned to Trades at 10-15 kts. Seas have increased to 2-3' with a 5' swell.
Skies are mostly cloudy.
Winds, seas and swell continue to increase. Three CTD casts completed included a second WOCE deep cast and one cast at station 8. Winch speeds decreased due to ship roll. The unit initially installed at the beginning of the cruise did not work properly so one of the sediment trap transmitters was used along with a new double capacity battery pack. Also, conducted surface trace metal cast.
