Early
this morning, we completed our final stations of the section across the
northern Alaska Gyre and are done with all CTD casts as well as other
over-the-side operations.
Celebrating the recovery of the CTD rosette on the last station of the day shift yesterday (station 203 at 18:30).
Total number of stations accomplished on leg 2 is 95 of which 78 were along 152ºW and 17 were on the cross-gyre section. The night shift is slowly adjusting to a normal-life schedule, and everyone is trying to catch up on some sleep. We have a 4-day steam from our last station to Seattle which gives time to pack up and also to get those data reports in!
