Improving weather, different sampling methods

As the weather improves, we made steady progress working our way east towards the summit northeast of Georges Bank. The weather was so good that on Friday we made a second deployment of our Situ Ichthyoplankton Imaging System (ISIIS) device on the southern flank of Georges Bank, running a transect from the bank itself out water in the slope for a comparison of hydrographic and zooplankton conditions in both areas. This has been successfully undertaken, with a series of strokes compared bongo plankton net samples to provide ground truth for comparison with the many images taken by the camera ISIIS.

On a Friday evening, the crew was sick, and the Delaware II steamed toward Cape Cod to the rendezvous with a Coast Guard vessel. The person was transferred to that vessel on Saturday morning and taken ashore for medical treatment. On Sunday, we returned to our work area on the ridge northeast of Georges Bank, to continue our sampling operations there and in the North Channel, a particularly interesting that marked a point of entry where the Labrador Current brings cooler, less salty water from the northern ice shelf in the Gulf of Maine.With excellent weather conditions continued, and under the waves of Hurricane Danielle than had been expected to repeat ISIIS deployment was conducted Sunday night, on exactly the same transect issued two days earlier, reproduce This sampling effort in nighttime conditions to determine whether we could observe changes in fauna.
