  2. EDT1 Operations Target Feature : Cyclone C1 Main Transects [NE-SW through EC (waypoint 111) S-N through EC (waypoint 110) ] 30 CTD Casts, 23 with biogeochemistry [Stations shown as black triangles] 15 XBT profiles 2 Sediment Trap Deployments [One at Eddy center (red dots) Control Traps NE of C1 (red dots) 3 tubes for mass,C &N, 4 for thorium flux 2 for species ID ] 3 Production deployments (2 at Eddy Center and one in High fluorescence region to the SW) 9 Thorium pump profiles

  3. EDT2 Operations Target Feature : Cyclone C1 Main Transect : [N-S through EC (station 264)] 27 CTD Casts, 18 with full biogeochemistry (Stations shown as black triangles) 12 XBT profiles 1 Sediment Trap Deployment at EC [ Track shown as red line 3 tubes for mass,C,N, 4 for thorium flux 2 for species ID Control - BATS 190 ] 1 Production deployments at EC 9 Thorium pump profiles Bad weather (Hurricane Alex, extreme front),main engine problems (SOG reduce to 6.5k).
