R/V Atlantis Cruise AT15-14, Chief Scientist: Lauren Mullineaux.
November 11, 2006 to January 5, 2007
The two cruises in 2006 include a tracer release (first cruise) and survey (second cruise). The survey should be initiated roughly 40 days after release, so the 2 cruises need a 2-3 week separation between them.

Image Of the Day caption:
During a 2006 cruise aboard R/V Atlantis that lasted over Christmas, someone celebrated the holiday with a message painted on the side of the submersible Alvin. The note taped below the greeting reads, "Merry Merry Christmas, please don't worry, it's only fingerpaints, they wash off easily."
