Science objectives

To teach MIT-WHOI Joint Program students various methods of oceanographic sampling, while at the same time collecting data relevant to the goals of the NES-LTER and Ocean Twilight Zone projects.

Science Activities

CTD casts, bongo plankton net tows, MOCNESS (10 m^2) tow

Pre-cruise planning meeting: Teleconference/Visit WHOI

I'm open to meeting outside in person, but otherwise prefer Zoom.

Winch Notes:

Wire use and application

Trawl Winch with .681 fiber optic
CTD Winch with .322" Electro-mechanical wire
3/8" Hydro Wire


Wire Notes: Still unsure, but we may bring a 10 m^2 MOCNESS, which would use the .681 wire. We should have a new system by then and it will be good to get running and test out prior to future cruises. If we don't bring the MOCNESS, we'll instead use a single 10 m^2 plankton net that can be towed with the trawl wire off the stern.
