Completed the radiator pattern survey of squirt feature.
SH-S2, SR-S1, NH-40, NH-55, SR-55, SH-S3, SH-S4, SR-S2, NH-70, NH-85, SR-85 (casts 541-551). Last cast at about 1800 local.
Boom mounted ADCP put into place by Dave O'Gorman and Walt Waldorf. Tried to go 5 knts, but too much vibration. Some attempts were made to secure more firmly. In the end top speed is about 4 knts.
Proceeded on a line from SR-85 to Newport.
At 2226 local tried to tow-yo (cast 552). We watched the flow-thru system looking for indicators of a front. We found one and then turned around and headed back on the same bearing. Then the CTD was deployed and ship speed maintained at 1-1.5 knts. The CTD operation was continuous between surface and 200 m.
