Science objectives

The goal of this expedition is to recover and deploy a bottom lander at the ADEON JAX site.  This lander was not recovered on AR40 although the acoustic release was communicating and indicated release.

Science Activities

1. Recover JAX lander with ROV upon arrival on site.
2. Turnaround, and redeploy bottom lander at JAX site.
3. Conduct CTD casts to collect sound speed profile and water column parameters.
