Basic Cleaning in August
Yesterday, Tuesday August 30th, Wess Merten conducted a thorough basic cleaning and
assessment of the CREWs station in La Parguera. I conducted a surface
inspection, underwater inspection/cleaning, optical sensor cleaning, and
a CTD sensor cleaning. I also very carefully removed some biofouling
that has accumulated on some of the cables. In addition, all four brass
filters were replaced on the
CTD's. After more than 3 hours underwater the station looks great! A complete cleaning will be conducted next week.
