The CTD Men

These two guys are Ryan and Cole.  They are responsible for getting all the water bottles ready for collecting water all the way to the bottom of the ocean (over 5000 meters in some spots) and closing them at the correct depths that are requested by the scientists.  It is a very important jobs because if the bottles don't close at the right places, we researchers don't get the water to study that we want.  They are doing a great job..... so far.  But we only have two more stations to stop and collect, so odds are pretty good they will finish with a gold star each!!  Thanks CTD men!

CTD = conductivity, temparature, depth (conductivity tells us how salty the water is...).  Oh and Hello to Marcie!!!
