The coolest picture you'll see today is the C-130 aircraft flying near the ship. While the aircraft will be in our general vicinity for the next several weeks, today provided a unique opportunity to see it at a low altitude. I'm also sending a picture of myself, so that you can connect a face with the author of all the daily logs you have been reading. There's a picture of John Mickett, from the University of Washington manning the winch that deploys the MMP, which is shown in another picture just before it is hoisted onto the deck. Finally, a picture of Captain Dreves on the bridge. My students were so curious about what he looks like, and I know they'll be disappointed that he doesn't have a peg leg, hook arm, or even a patch on his eye. The parrot that normally sits on his shoulder was sleeping, and we thought it best not to wake him for the photo.
Note for educators: Although Jennifer and Jane's reseearch cruise ended, the EPIC research continues. Please use this web site, Jennifer and Jane's lesson plans, daily logs, the videos, and the photos to educate your students about climate, El Niño, and scientific research in general.
Consider this web site, as well as the TAO web site, a resource for teaching your students.
Many organizations and countries are involved in funding the EPIC Experiment. Primary U. S. funding is provided by The National Science Foundation and The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
