The CTD (Conductivity/Temperature/Depth) has 23 water sample bottles, and several other instruments collecting ancillary data. It is typically deployed at three stations per day on this N.B. Palmer cruise. There are two 12-hour watches to collect and process the data and water samples as shown in the top pictures. In the bottom pictures, the watch standers are monitoring the deployment in the forward dry lab. Top left: Yulia Serebrennikova.
