15 July 2008 R/V Wecoma Cruise - La Push line

After completing our work on the Cape Falcon line, we spent the nighttime cruising up the Washington, casting the CTD at station along the 100m isobath all the way to LP-12 on the La Push line. We then moved inshore to LP-4 to start the La Push line. We casted the CTD at 10 stations going east to west (LP-4, 6, 9, 12, 17, 22, 27, 32, 42, 52), collected water samples at three depths at four stations (LP-6, 17, 32, 52), measured primary production at one station (LP-6), and collected sediment cores at two stations (LP-17, 52). Our team is now processing samples with confidence and ease.
