On August 30, 2007, Madeline Weigner and Brenda Gadd performed a full cleaning of CMRC 3 including groundtruthing.
The CTD validation unit was installed at 12:45 PM.
Cleaning occured between 2:15PM and 3:30 PM, although care was taken to make sure the sensors were cleaned and screens were reinstalled before 2:45.
Debris and growth was removed from all lines, CTD's and light sensors were cleaned. All Zincs were checked.
Madeline reported no zincs needing to be replaced at this time, although there is still the degrading zinc on one of the chains that will need replacing in the near future.
The CTD validation unit was removed at 4:15.
Next scheduled basic cleaning is on or about September 16. Madeline left LSI on 8/31. I am scheduled to leave on 9/10. I will not be here for the next cleaning; please plan accordingly.
I am glad I could be of service to you folks by maintaining the stick this summer. It's too bad we didn't get a chance to meet in person. Perhaps that can be arranged sometime in the future.
