🧪⚒️ #NODSSUM cruise - WOW - Wainting on Weather with a multibeam survey and no Ulyx dive yesterday- after 5 days of work at the radioactive waste dump site. After 5 Ulyx dives we now located >1200 barrels in sonar maps, and sediment/water/fish sampling is well on the way… more details later…

🧪⚒️ #NODSSUM cruise - Wind and waves are limiting factors for operations at sea - & thus to gather samples and data. While far ahead, but we begin to keep track of predictions in our working area (~46N 17W 😬) - working from the 20th of June, for about 20 days (check wave height at the flagpole).
