Hello All
Other than the daily CTD we did not manage to do much as we waited for the CAT Train to arrive at the Summer Station. They arrived last night and conditions were to be assessed this morning.
This morning the snow, swell and the presence of icebergs made conditions unsuitable for working against the ice shelf...to be honest the swell and wind wave were breaking up against the shelf like it would do against the Cape Town outer breakwater during the winter months strong North Westerly.
We will have another look at conditions after lunch, but are not very hopeful for operations today with the shelf not visible at 2 miles off due to snow and the swell predicted to be up to 3m. This could also cause crevassed sections of shelf to break away.
Have a good Wednesday.
