Changed has also the weather. In the first 3 days the sea was so calm that one could think we haven’t even left the harbor yet. So, no more loss of water while pouring and thus no more filling of the container with seawater.
They say that necessecity is the mother of invention, I’d probably say back pain is a better motivator. As the CHARLET cruises progessed, so did my questions about the factors affecting the growth of phytoplankton along our transect.
De zonnebrillen worden uit het stof gehaald en de biologie wordt door een enkeling weer beoefend zoals het hoort, in korte broek met de zelfgemaakte geitenwollen sokken eronder.
Welcome onboard, this is the last CHARLET cruise in a set of four. What are we up to? If you would walk around the ship, and chat here and there, you would find out that there is one thing that binds us: phytoplankton.
The recovery of the mooring starts with rubber-boat assistance to attach lines to the release beacon and empty aluminium LOM.
The water in the Alboran Sea is thus full of particles and small swimmers that the sight is limited to about 5 m, also 900 m deep. This limits the underwater videos and also the robot-submarine (ROV)!
When the KM3NeT will be built, the optical modules will be lowered once to the sea-bottom where they will stay for at least 15 years. However, during the Pelagia-test-cruise they stay at the bottom for a few hours or a day.
Near-midnight of 02 April 2013 Pelagia left its Motril-shore station. A fully loaded LOM was on the aft-deck almost ready for deployment.
NIOZ is back to its roots: as a temporary research station. That is how it all started around the inland Dutch Wadden Sea some 130 years ago.
