March 31, 2007...Let the Sampling Begin

Hello again!! I must apologize for the delay in getting out this update. We've been having some internet troubles and are now back up and running. Our Spring sampling officially began at 2:17pm today when we hit station MI17. The total depth of this station was 99.3 meters and the surface temperature of the water was 2.78C.

Station MI11 followed at 5:40pm. Total depth was 125.3 meters and the surface temperature was 2.9C.

We finished up the day with MI19. Surface temperature was 2.7 and the total depth was 89.2 meters.

That's all for today. I'll keep you updated as we progress. I've included a map of the current stations below.
