17 September - Research Cruise Log
Submitted by Tim Cowles on September 17, 2008 - 5:58am
We departed the dock in Newport OR at 9:50am after loading equipment and personnel for Leg 2 of this CMOP cruise. Weather conditions were foggy with little wind and the sea state was calm.
We began CTDs on the Strawberry Hill (SH) line at 12:30pm under overcast skies. By midnight we had completed stations SH-10, SH-15, SH-30, SH-50, SH-70, SH-100, SH-d, and SH-f. Water sampling occurred at SH-30, SH-70, and SH-f. We observed a few humpback whales and porpoises near SH-70, a new experience for several members of the science team.
