Complete Cleaning in May
Today (Tuesday, May3rd, 2011), a complete cleaning (CTD validation, cleaned all sensors, chains, lines, and spar) was done at the CREWS Station in La Parguera, Puerto Rico, by Wessley Merten. The groundtruth validation sensor was placed on at 0900 and was removed at 1230. All surface and subsurface sensors were standing proud to the sea. All rigging, lines, baseplates, sensors, and the spar were cleaned. The waters were really clear today which made a clean station look really great.
