Installation of YSI Instrument & Download of Levelogger Data

On 30th October, a YSI 6600 Instrument was installed on the side of the ICON Pylon with large SS hose clamps. Unfortunately after a while we noticed that the instrument was leaking very slowly through a screw hole. The instrument was uninstalled and taken to the surface.

Leveloggers were removed and replaced on the station and the data from all four Leveloggers was successfully downloaded and sent for analysis at the University of Miami.

Cleaning of instruments was postponed and will take place when the seas are next calm enough. The station looked to be in good order with low biofouling.
