| Abstract | During the past six months, the MOCE Team conducted two cruises (deep mooring replacement cruise in early September and a bio-optical process cruise in October-November), collecting (following SeaWIFS protocols) biological and optical data for the development of improved in situ remote sensing algorithms. In addition, new systems and techniques were tested and are in the process of being evaluated. A great deal of effort was dedicated to repairing instrumentation which was damaged during power failures and a dead short which occured during the MOBY-L7 cruise in June/July. The MOCE-3 cruise was conducted from October 27 to November 15 around the Hawaiian Islands and resulted in 16 stations of bio-optical measurements and 2800 km of track line data. Work continued on the fabrication of the MOBY-2 versions which are to be deployed the SeaWIFS cal/val activities. Design modifications were submitted to Mooring Systems, Inc. and a contract was awarded for construction. American Holographic, Inc. designs for the new spectrographs were reviewed, and after several iterations were accepted. A contract was awarded for the construction of ten new systems. Fabrication of buoy components by MLML personnel is 90 percent complete. The MOBY-2 systems are scheduled for assembly in Hawaii during March 1995. |
