Screen replacement
The two protective copper screens on the CTD were both replaced today. About 10% of the original screen was present, with 90% of it eaten away/missing. The screens that were replaced were the original screens from initial installation of the pylon/instruments.

Cleaning and validation confusion
ICON was fully cleaned May 17th. However, confusion on protocol for full cleaning/validation occured and therefore, needs to be rescheduled in order to complete the CT validation. Within the next two weeks, another full cleaning and validation will be scheduled.
ICON is also reading 'unbelievably low' salinity since May 11th and requires futher investigation.
