Shipboard
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.

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