Equipment/Nav:
Other Requirements:      Night work anticipated
                         Pre-cruise planning with ship's crew for small
                         piston core below CTD
Notes:                   We are planning to attempt a small (modified 20-30
                         lb) piston core
                         which will hang 15m below CTD rosette. If this
                         does not work at sea,
                         we would use the core by itself on hydro wire.

                         Will be using hazardous/toxic chemicals (re-agents
                         for oxygen
                         titrations - 28% H2 SO4 in Hydro Van).
