Full Validation and Clean 11/Feb/2012
The CREWS station received its second cleaning of the year. All the sensors, chains, lines and pole had limited biofouling. The whole station was cleaned by 4 divers after the GT sensor was installed at 8am, the cleaning commenced at 9:30 for 90 minutes. The GT sensor was then removed around 1:20pm. Everything looked in place, no changes were obvious since our last visit.
