-Altabet coming from east coast, leaving before Friday. - Andrew Reed will run the Winkler kit. -We might try profile along a section of the Canal after we figure out how the new sensor works and play with it for the first time. Project 2: AUV water sampler for dissolved iron. (UW RRF funding) Goals: measure transect of dissolved iron along lower Hood Canal using the new water sampler on the AUV. Sampling and tasks: Main sampling day is 17th. We may deploy several transponders for navigation and defined waypoints. We will run the AUV multiple (2-3?) times up and down the channel (see attached figure of planned route). The AUV will take water samples on-route. The sampler will be removed and syringes changed between missions. We will follow behind the AUV and take surface water samples using techniques’ for ‘clean People: McNeil, Shcherbina, Crusius, Mueller HazMat: AUVs (large lithium ion batteries). Notes: - 8.5 kts for Robertson transit speed, about 5 hrs to Hood Canal from APL. - Ray Hollingsworth will take an APL van up to the hotel on Thursday and ride back on the boat and Craig will drive to APL with any passengers and samples on Friday around noon.
