We'll set it up beforehand, but will rely on the SSSG tech to make sure it's functioning properly. --We want to do some XCTD surveying at some point in the cruise. Please note that the new generation XCTDs require the MK-21 card from Sippican. Does the Oceanus XBT system have this card? Please confirm. Barrie has confirmed the availability of the MK21 card and is installed on Oceanus --We will likely enounter some ice near the coast of Greenland (as we did the last two years). As in the past, I would like to sample as far inshore as possible. --We will once again have daily weather forecasts e-mailed to the ship from the Danish meteorological Institute, as well regular ice maps. (80-100 KB, 2-3 times per week) - If weather is good during the mooring operations then the plan is to recover both moorings and then go back to deploy them in the same locations to maximize weather window.
