MVCO Waves Newsletter

	MVCO Waves - September 30, 2003 This cross beam was installed on the Coupled Boundary Layer Air-Sea Transfer (CBLAST) tower in August to support an array of instruments for studies of near surface circulation dynamics.
	MVCO Waves - June 17, 2003 Scott Gallager and crew deployed the Autonomous Vertically Profiling Plankton Observatory (AVPPO) about 120 m south of the ASIT. The AVPPO collects data on the vertical position and taxonomic composition of plankton and environmental data in high-energy shelf regions of the ocean.
	MVCO Waves - April 27, 2003 Biologists Rob Olson and Heidi Sosik are looking forward to watching the fluctuations of different populations of phytoplankton through the spring and summer seasons.
	MVCO Waves - January 8, 2003 Surface Processes and Acoustic Communications Experiments (SPACE) are conducted at the Air-Sea Interaction Tower (ASIT) about a mile southwest of the MVCO.
	MVCO Waves - October 24, 2002 The newest addition to the observatory is the Air-Sea Interaction Tower (ASIT), located off the south shore of Martha's Vineyard. ASIT sensors will measure momentum, heat, and mass exchange between the atmosphere and the ocean.
	MVCO Waves - May 30, 2002 Divers brought the node up for spring cleaning while bio-fouling, or the clustering of biological organisms on the instruments, presented a challenge.
	MVCO Waves - April 12, 2002  Future plans include Coupled Boundary Layer Air-Sea Transfer (CBLAST) experiments to be conducted at the observatory this summer.

	MVCO Waves - December 10, 2001 The Martha’s Vineyard Coastal Observatory is producing great data for a growing and diverse scientific community.
	MVCO Waves - November 16, 2001 The Martha’s Vineyard Coastal Observatory is up and the data is flowing at full speed now that the new T-1 line has been installed.
