Meteorology

While the CTD is in the water for the cast, we'd better make some meteorological observations. Once every four hours while at Station ALOHA, we will measure air temperature, air humidity (psychrometer), sea surface temperature (bucket thermometer), wind speed and direction, cloud coverage, and weather conditions.
