Last night we got a "weather window" which allowed us to deploy the WHOI vla, a guard buoy, a thermistor chain, and an ADCP (Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler) mooring. The forecast is predicting a snow storm, so we took advantage of the flat calm conditions and performed night operations from 7 PM to 5:30 this morning. The seasoar was promptly deployed next only to have to be pulled out again at noon due to worsening weather. The sea raged to 8-12 ft with winds blowing steady over 40 knots. The seasoar now sits awash on the deck waiting for the weather to change. Things change *fast* out here. Right now, we are hove to.
Conditions:
Temp: 33° F
Wind dir: NE
Wind spd: 35-45 Knots
Weather: Hang On!
