2010-06-27	00:01:50	okeanosexplorer	 Update from the Okeanos Explorer: The local time is 0800. current depth is 1900 meters. We have finished mapping a westward line over Kawio Barat and are preparing for our first CTD cast at CTD location #1 on the NW side of the summit.
2010-06-27	00:52:45	okeanosexplorer	 Update from the Okeanoes Explorer: local EX tim is 0900. We have cancelled our aily science meeting for the day but will hold one tomorrow at 0900. We ar currently on our first CTD cast over the NW part of the summit of Kawio Barat. We plan to do 4 CTD casts in total today fter which we will resume mapping the EX2 box and return for ROV Ops at 0800 on June 29th local EX time. We plan to map another line to the east of our current mapping box while transiting north to be in position for ROV Ops at Kawio Barat.
2010-06-27	02:12:26	okeanosexplorer	 Update from the Okeanoes Explorer: local EX time is 1005. We have completed our first CTD cast over the NW part of the summit of Kawio Barat (Lat: 4 40.576' N  Long: 125 5.117' E). We are currently in transit to CTD station #2 on the SE part of the summit. On CTD cast #1 we fired 6 Niskin bottles for water samples which will be shared between Indonesian and US scientists. We did not detect a strong plume signal in the ORP data, however, small temperature anomolies at 1740m and 1600m and a strong light scatter signal suggested the possibility of an anomoly. Two of the bottles were fired at 1200m to serve as a background water sample.
2010-06-27	02:58:14	okeanosexplorer	 Update from the Okeanos Explorer: local EX time is 1100. We are still in transit to CTD station #2 and expect to be in position shortly. The CTD is being towed at a depth of 1200m and a speed of approximately half a knot.
2010-06-27	04:01:03	okeanosexplorer	 Update from the Okeanos Explorer: local EX time is 1200. Wehave now completed CTD cast #2. There was no evidence of plume activity recorded by the LSS and ORP sensors however we detected 2 more temperature anomalies at 1650m and 1740m and fred 4 more Niskin bottles. We are now proceeding to CTD station #3, the CTD is being towed at a depth of 1200m and a speed of approximately half a knot.
2010-06-27	05:10:08	okeanosexplorer	 Update from the Okeanos Explorer: local EX time is 1300. We are still in transit to CTD station #3 and expect to be in position shortly.
2010-06-27	08:11:59	okeanosexplorer	 Update from the Okeanos Explorer: local EX time is 1600. We have now completed CTD cast #3, we saw some movement on the ORP sensor but nothing on the light scattering sensor. We fired two Niskin bottles for wate samples and we are now in transit to CTD station #4 on the eastern flank of Kawio Barat.
2010-06-27	09:12:57	okeanosexplorer	 Update from the Okeanos Explorer: local EX time is 1710. We are currently in middle of our 4th CTD cast on the eastern flank of Kawio Barat, no news to report as of yet.
2010-06-27	11:57:47	okeanosexplorer	 Update from the Okeanos Explorer: local EX time is 2000. We have completed CTD operations for the day with a otal of 4 casts and 7 duplicate sets of trace metal and nutrient samples collected. We are now continuing to map our 5th line to the north, we are an estimated 50 minutes from the end of this line.
2010-06-27	13:05:22	okeanosexplorer	 Update from the Okeanos Explorer: local EX time is 2100. We are continuing with mapping operations, we have made a turn and are now mapping our 6th line (east of our 5th line) to the south.
2010-06-27	14:49:51	okeanosexplorer	 Update from okeanos. The local EX time is 22:45. We are on mapping operation on sixth line, cruising 1770m over the seafloor, heading to south. The port side seafloor (or to eastern side) is much more shallower than the stbd side.
2010-06-27	16:07:34	okeanosexplorer	 Update from okeanos explorer. The EX local time is 00:05. Current depth is 2474 meters. We are still on mapping on sixth line. It needs 9 hours to go to finish 6th line.
2010-06-27	22:09:10	okeanosexplorer	 Update from okeanos explorer. The local time is 06:00. The current depth is 3326 meter. We are about 4 hours to go before completing this line. Mapping operation is still underway, and everything looks normal so far
2010-06-27	23:04:30	okeanosexplorer	 Update from okeanos. The local EX time is 7:00. The current depth below us is 3628 meters. Keep mapping on 6th line, and it is about 3 hours to reach the end of line. The data looks normal, most of it with a flat seafloor
2010-06-27	23:58:33	okeanosexplorer	 Update from the Okeanos Explorer: local EX time is 0800. We continue to map our 6th line to the south and are approximately 2 hours from the end of this line. The current depth is 3075m and we appear to be mapping over a ridge-like feature to the east.
