The Kalipi kicks off another week on the water
The Kalipi is back in action starting today. The OSU group recovered the 10-meter temperature string mooring and the ADCP lander this morning. The seas were glassy calm and the instruments were all returned ondeck safely. The recovery could not have gone better. As Jim Lerzcak said when we brought the lander onboard: “There’s nothing like the warm fuzzy feeling when an ADCP comes back pinging.”
The five of us will be running CTD and ADCP surveys for the rest of the week from the Kalipi. Look for us out there, Oceanus, Sounder, and Sally Ann!
