1. image of bkgrnd subtracted triplicated standard curve
2. table --avg PCR effect
3. Lab triple PCR graph
4. M0 climatology data
5. panel graph of field data and array examles
6. AUV data
7. 3-d plot of nitrate/temp/salinity vs. abundance   -or-  time resolved---3 time plots* Chris will have rough figures at our March 9 meeting.

2.  IPC order through Spyglass?

• We will be getting 5000 reactions, (which is 10K for us since we use it at 1/2 dilution), which will be enough to get us through the spring/summer deployments.

3.  Precruise for March deployment?

• Charlie will do this.  We must do the July one, using same missions as March so pilots know what equipment we want.

4.  Progress on '08/'09 paper.

• John just got back and will be working with Roman on keeping paper moving forward.  he wants to turn '08 data into cell-counts.  May use Diane for this but will first check with Roman to see what his bandwidth looks like.

5.   ASLO practice talks.  Friday, Feb 19 10:30am-12.

• Moved time back 1/2 hour to accomodate Chris S.

 6.  Pete & Vik groups schedule. And are they taking instruments back??

Groups getting trained; Pete sent 2 grad students who just want to drive the ESP.  Plus a student from Zehr lab, plus Orphan's people.  First reactions did not work--might be the master mix.
7.  DA testing

• Roman has not been seen to ask what the status of this was.  He was busy training Bruce Keafer last week, no no DA testing yet.

8.  S. California deployment

• Chris S. working on boat issues.  We have prices from Christmann, but need to see what Scott's found.  Will finialize by middle of next week.
• New E/M cables are in the qeue so we can deploy at 12-15m depth.
