The acoustics portion of the experiment officially started today. We deployed the 'Shark of Science' hydrophone array, some more guard buoys (one twice!), and steamed off the shelf break to pick up some damaged equipment that was deployed earlier by another scientist at WHOI.

Last night a longer section of CTD casts was performed along the Eastern edge of our experiment area. The shelfbreak front is relatively narrow (~20km) here with a temperature contrast across the front of 4 degrees C. The front is shoreward of its normal position presumably due to a presense of a warm core ring, or remnant of ring structures, over the upper slope.
Conditions:
Temp: 34° F
Wind dir: NE
Wind spd: 16
