The rest of the storm chasing trips had been a bit tough. We had some really rough weather and had almost three days when we couldn’t work. We weren’t able to do any science, which was hard on the science crew; they got a bit restless, which is completely understandable. We did finally get to do a couple CTD yesterday in the morning before we had to head for Lewis tToday. Other than that we had a couple of days of good science before the sea state got too bad. We got back out to the drifters and did about a days worth of sampling and then we steamed southwest in hunt of rain. We got to the spot where the rain was supposed to be and sure enough it poured for about 4 hours and then it stopped and we headed back to the drifters and continued where we had left off. We had a few more days of following the drifters around with the same daily routine on CTD, clean CTD, light meters and tow fishing with aerosol sampling at night. On the night of the 11th and we spent most of the 12th and 13th rolling around. There were a few big rollers where I felt like I was on a rollercoaster and my stomach got that sudden dropping feeling, but mostly it just feels like you are on a terrible never ending carnival ride, just enough movement that you can feel it and it effects you but not enough to be fun! Once we were finally able to do science again we did a deep cast that everyone had been prepping for for days with styrofoam cups. When you send a cup down to 2000m it get awfully small!
