| Summary: |
1511OC Fall CalCOFI cruise on RV Oceanus; 28 Oct - 13 Nov 2015; 68 stations (61 standard & 7 SCCOOS) successfully occupied. Five stations on the first two southern lines - stations 93.3 100, 110, 120 & stations 90.0 110, 120 - were cancelled due to bad weather. Station 93.3 50 was initially missed due to bad weather but occupied during the transit home, as station #69. Net tows on stations 86.7 45 & 93.3 45 were initially missed due to high winds but performed during the southward transit home. Second CTD casts, without seawater sample collection, were performed on these two net tow stations. Because the seas were consistently rough, the stations were reordered to allow work to continue. Please refer to the final track map below for the order occupied. Although visually confusing, the track northward from 86.7 45.0 was after its occupation as station #31. Station 86.7 45.0 was re-occupied during the southward transits as station #68 to recover missed net tows. |
