Today we’re back to the expected, cold, blustery, and snowing weather; it feels like -13F with the 57mph winds. However, yesterday evening we had calm winds and clear skies, so after another CTDA research tool that is submerged in the water to measure conductivity (salinity), temperature, and depth., the UAV team got in a couple more drone flights.
The crew moved the ship right up against the sea ice so the UAVs could get good images for later data collection.
However, it was such a nice day, they sent the UAVs up almost 4,000 feet to get some awesome shots too!
