Weather Report
Time: 4:30 PM Pacific Daylight Time
Air Temperature: 9.5 Degrees Celsius
Sea Temperature: 12.3 Degrees Celsius
Wind Speed: 4.1 Knots
Water depth: 2887.4 Meters
Ship's Speed 0.4 Knots
Latitude: N 51.50
Longitude: W 133.23
Today is a busy day with many CTD casts. Scientists and researchers hope to relocate the Haida Eddy that was transected earlier in the cruise to compare and contrast data. Satellite altimetry, the measurement of height or altitude, gives the location of the Haida Eddy in contrasting colors on a computer monitor. The ship heads for the coordinates displayed on the monitor but stops to deploy the CTD along the way. Analyzing the components of the water column from samples collected at these stops tells scientists when they have reached the eddy. Verification of the real time coordinates with the real time data confirms the location of the Haida Eddy. Continued CTD casts transecting the eddy will reveal where we are within the eddy. All the data collected is saved and shared.
