Thanks USCG!

Steve and I made it out to both HF Radar sites yesterday afternoon thanks to the USCG who flew us out in one of their SAR Jayhawk Helicopters. We were able to reset, refuel and reboot both of the sites and get data delivery back online. We'll revisit the sites today and continue to work with CODAR technicians debugging the DC/DC +5V hardware issue that has developed. Kudos to all in the Sound for all of their hard work in such gnarly weather conditions. Also, thanks to Rutgers for getting plots online of the glider data. Wow, that's some amazing stratification down at 40 m. (http://marine.rutgers.edu/~kerfoot/glider_portal/active/gliders/ru21/data_products/cross_sections/ru21_090723T2004_090724T1212_pws2009_sal_xsec.jpg) One can only assume that the 40 m drogues are being caught in a high shear zone... Keep your fingers crossed for a weaker storm cycle this weekend.
