After 240 hours of hard work and 4,970 towed uCTD casts, we are happy to add SCoNE (point Sal Coastal circulatioN Experiment) to the list of successful student cruises made possible by the UC Ship Funds Program.
We wish to thank everyone who worked to make this experiment a reality, including the Science Party and the Crew of the R/V Robert Gordon Sproul. André is very grateful for the awesome mentoring provided by Jen MacKinnon, Amy Waterhouse and Kate Adams, and for the hard work Spencer Kawamoto, Paul Chua, Jonny Ladner, Liz Brenner, Mary Huey, Eva Friedlander and many others put in preparing for and executing this amazing and unprecedented coordinated effort with the other groups involved in the Inner Shelf DRI.
More on the Sproul’s story and science coming soon!
