Palmer LTER Site Flash (Aug93) - Karen Baker, PAL datamanager

The plans for the August93 through March94 field season are unfolding with
continuation of the oceanographic, krill and bird surveys.  In addition 
to the weekly on station sampling out of Palmer, there are major ship
cruises planned off the West Coast of the Antarctic Peninsula. 
Having completed lterjan93 and ltermar93 cruises, a Spring cruise 
in Aug93 and an annual cruise in Jan94 are planned. This completes
an intense year of sampling.  Development of an experimental gopher 
site to provide online documentation to investigators continues.  
Two unix workstations are being tested at sea in an attempt to provide
more real-time analysis, more uniformity between home and field 
operations, as well as to make our historical documentation and
data available in the field.
