Instrument Installation Video

This video (utilized in a more comprehensive YouTube presentation) shows composite steps involved in installing the electronics (see Electronics Installation, previous), including scaling "the stick," stringing cables from top to bottom, installing meteorological instruments, hoisting the "brain" (data logger and electrical relays) from the boat to the top, mounting of the underwater instruments (light sensor, CTD), and testing the radio transmission from the pylon to a laptop on the boat. Mike Jankulak on the pylon, Captain Lowell Forbes assisting in lifting the brain, Derek Manzello (black dive suit), and Jim Hendee in the water.
