2010-06-28	00:59:12	okeanosexplorer	 Update from the Okeanos Explorer: local EX time is 0900. We have now made a turn and are mapping to the north along our 5th line. We have some mapping of the southern portions of our 4th and 5th lines to complete them. We are also turning before the end of the EX2 box and leaving approximately a 30km gap on our 4th, 5th and 6th lines to be in position over Kawio Barat for ROV Ops at 0800 on June 29th.
2010-06-28	02:05:44	okeanosexplorer	  Update from the Okeanos Explorer: local EX time is 1000. We continue to map to the north along our 5th line at a depth of 4100m. We held a science meeting at 0900 at which point we discussed targets for ROV Ops at Kawio Barat tomorrow at 0800 based on data from multiple CTD casts over the summit yesterday. Also, the Oxeanos Explorer Portal site is now operational thanks to the tireless efforts of Webb Pinner.

We are currently mapping at a depth of 2000m and this depth is decreasing as we progress eastward. We will be making another turn to the north shortly and we will map a new line until we reach the latitude of Kawo Barat.

2010-06-28	15:17:07	okeanosexplorer	 Correction, local EX time on the last update was 2235
2010-06-28	16:13:19	okeanosexplorer	 Update from okeanos explorer: The local time is 00:10. Current depth is 2469 meters. We made slight turn on mapping 7th line ta avoid the island located on the starboard side. The sea floor on the starboard side is higher than port
2010-06-28	17:00:54	okeanosexplorer	 This is an hourly update from okeanos explorer. The local EX time is 1:00. the current depth is 1944 meters. The ships is still in turning align back to the line.(avoid island). The data looks fine so far. 
2010-06-28	17:01:22	okeanosexplorer	 The ship is cruising to the north, mapping on 7th line
2010-06-28	17:08:08	okeanosexplorer	 For the information of all shore-based participants, the Okeanos will be increasing the bitrate of all three video streams to 4.000Mbps to troubleshoot issues with the ship high-speed network.  This may disrupt the video feeds.  Testing will continue for approximately 1 hour.  Thank you.
2010-06-28	18:01:36	okeanosexplorer	 Update from okeanos; The local EX time is 02:00. The current depth is 2450 m, the ship has just turned back to the 7th line, still underway on mapping.

2010-06-28	19:01:55	okeanosexplorer	 This is an update from okeanos. The local EX time is 03:00. The current depth is 2213 m. The ship is still on mapping 7th line, heading to north. Web pinner is still working on video feeds test. The data looks goods and perfect
2010-06-28	19:03:50	davebutterfield545	 To repeat earlier message, please change the scale on the LSS sensor output to be approximately 0.16V full scale. Also, please make a figure (SD, TIF, or JPEG) that shows the positions of vertical casts on the bathymetry, labeled V1, V2, V3, etc. 
2010-06-28	19:04:30	davebutterfield545	 We will most likely do more CTD casts after the ROV dive, assuming that stays on schedule. 
2010-06-28	19:12:51	okeanosexplorer	 This is okeanos control room, we will get them have the message right away.
2010-06-28	19:13:47	okeanosexplorer	 For the information of all users.  Testing of the network abourd the Okeanos has completed.  Thank you

2010-06-28	22:39:26	okeanosexplorer	 To clarify for the record, the "scattering looks appear in water column" phrase was referring to a faint scattering layer in the multibeam data around 500-1000m in depth
