Present:  Jim B., Chris P, Roman M., Wayne R., Cheri E., Brent R., Julie R., Scott J.

Absent:  Chris Scholin, Doug Pargett.

 Issues:

1.  NEO preparationsball screw has been replaced with new one.  Reagents corrected.  CTD compatibility to be dealt with on the deck by 'hot-swapping' with one that works on MOE.  Pressure differential error:  must be the sensor.  The two have very different response slopes, so will replace with a new pressure gauge. Discussion ensued on what exactly the logs looked like.  Brent to look at the first deployment log.  We must look at temperature effects on pressure gauges.

2.  CTD's:  One must be sent back to Seabird and therefore will be returned with the newer firmware.  We must get Bob Herlein to do work.

3.  Roman to disassemble and do forensics on Bruce and Mack.  Start Monday.

4.  Cheri to visit McLane May 17.

5.  Methane Mound cruise is gelling. A.  Load WF July 21; shove off July 22

B.  begin return to Moss Landing July 27; arrive July 28
LOCATION:a.  WF will be in Los Angles Harbor, Berth 262 near Wharf and Tuna:  WF location

b.  Discussion ensued; we will use Benthos modem.  Deckbox should arrive late this week.

c.  Will use large Niskine Rosette

d.  Get methane mound temperature to run D-ESP van for check-out.
