We have completed cruise NAVO 9811, the last NAVO cruise of 1998. We
occupied 173 ctd-rosette stations, took 6 gravity cores, 22 net tows, shot 67
XBT's, ran productivity experiments, launched 3 RAFOS buoys, and moored
a workhorse ADCP. The weather was kinder than expected, allowing us to do
some biological sampling on Cortez bank on the way back to San Diego.
Very good cooperation and effort by the ships crew and the four embarked
science groups, resulted in 100% completion of all tasked stations. We
suffered no equipment losses or damage. Again a "well done", to all involved.

WEEKLY SCIENCE REPORT: R/V NEW HORIZON
We have completed 3 survey lines consisting of, 109 CTD stations, 3
gravity cores, emplacement of a work horse ADCP in Monterrey Bay, and are
in the middle of our third 24 hour time series station. The crew and ship
continue to perform at an excellent level, especially appreciated is the
expert winch operators. The teamwork between Naval Post Graduate personnel
and SIO technicians is resulting in fast and efficient use of ship time and
sampling equipment. We have had one equipment failure, the
12khz Knudsen transmitter has failed for the third time since this unit was
installed. We expect to embark 7 people from MBARI on the 6th of Nov. to
complement work on the last survey line. They will do a variety of net tows
and incubation experiments. Our work is ahead of schedule and unfortunately
we will return to San Diego earlier than scheduled.
