Specifically, the ramp, which launches our underwater camera, was broken due to some strong waves. On the 9 th we were delayed due to some rough water, and the need to fix some of our equipment. The before picture of the room is on the right. What is more impressive than the amount of technology in the dry lab, is that the NOAA crew hooks up all the equipment before the mission starts. It is overwhelming at first, but as I have settled in now for four days it becomes commonplace. In the laboratory van, where much of our species counting and data collection takes place there are three more touchscreen monitors, motion compensated electronic scales (a scale that measures accurately regardless of boat movement), and electronic meter sticks. In the dry lab alone, there are over 20 computer screens, close to as many hard drives, and Ethernet cords crossing and spanning the entire dry lab area. Sharp, the one thing that really stuck out to me was the amount of visible technology. Wind Speed 20.9 Knots (24 miles per hour)Īir Temperature 13.3 ° Celsius (55.9 Fahrenheit)
