Notes

Image of the Day caption:
Shipboard science services technician Ken Feldman (left) and ordinary seaman Patrick Neumann work to deploy a sea anchor as part of the process of "recovering" Alvin (bringing it back onto the ship). The Alvin submersible was called to return early to the research vessel Atlantis due to strong winds and building seas.
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.
