Since our last report we have recovered and re-deployed the Bluefin AUV, deployed and recovered the Surfactant Skimmer, and conducted multiple MASCOT (optics sensor) casts, RADCAM (Radiance Camera) casts, HYPERPRO (optics) casts, CTD casts, TSRB (Tethered Spectral Radiometer Buoy) casts, and Three-Level Camera casts. The camera and LIDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) sensor for recording ship’s pitch/roll motion continue to collect data. Testing/re-initialization of primary control computer in Engineering has been deferred until our next inport. Remainder of cruise will be conducted on secondary control computer only. Small boat operating at required capacity. Ship, crew, and science doing well. More than one science group on board has commented that they are gathering excellent data! We will be leaving station late tonight and returning to Port Hueneme, ETA 0800 23 September. Pics of Three-Level Camera and “Artist’s Rendition” of RADYO Cruise:
