Apart from this, there were no major problems affecting the data collection, except that the ship broke down during the transit home. Only three XBT casts were made on the return transit because of poor dead reckoning navigation quality between fixes. On this cruise, a massive surface Trichodesimum bloom was observed near Station ALOHA. |
