AT110	Sept/Oct. 1981	MOC 139-147	(warm core ring cruise)

M139		Double MOCNESS in Ring 81-D center to 1000m, night. Station 2.  Sept. 
21,1981.  Net 3 came up to ~758m and then sank back down to 823m before coming up again. 
Problem with net speed and wire rate in.  Net 3 open: had spurious net response so net 4 
appears on tape for part of net 3 open.  Net 5 open: sometime during net 4 or net 5 open we got 
another spurious response.  So NR now reads 7 at 2345.  May have jumped at net command for 
close net 4/open n5.  Tape changed at 330 to 315 meters.  Last couple of 100 meters, net angle 
too high to get accurate flow counts.

M140	Double MOCNESS in Ring 81-D center to 1000m, day.  Station 2.  Sept. 24, 1981.  After 
giving 3 commands to release net 0 and open net 1 we saw no net response.  We gave it a fourth 
cmd and saw no NR.  Then sometime later we got a NR.  No NR after 3 cmd's to close net 
1/open net2.  Al Morton thinks he saw net go on 2nd command.  ¼" tape changed at 440-430m.  
Lost bucket for net#8 during tow.  Although NR did not work and we saw no angle change during 
tow, all nets save one wree dropped when net came to surface and last net was dropped on 3 
cmd's so must conclude good tow.

M141	Double MOCNESS in Ring 81-D center towyo to 106m, day.  Station 2.  Sept. 26, 1981.  
Net response not working except at surface when we closed net 3/opened net 4 we got 6 NR's.  
Plotting: No plot going down leg 1, black ink coming up leg 2, red down leg 3, green up leg 4.  
Plot 2: Blue down & up legs 5 & 6, black down leg 7, red up leg 8.  Net 7 close/net 8 open: we got 
6 more NR's.  Net 17 opened at 31.5m, came up a bit and then sank back down to 41 or 42m 
because ship speed slowed slightly.  So we closed net 17 at 31.5 and fished net 18 to the 
surface.

M142	Double MOCNESS in high velocity region towyo to 116m, day.  Station 3.  Sept. 27, 
1981.  Northern edge of Ring 81-D.

M143	Double MOCNESS in high velocity region 1000m, day.  Station 3.  Sept. 28, 1981.  
Northern edge of Ring 81-D.  At 1135 hrs, lost signal because clip lead broke off signal cable next 
to computer.  Stripped wire and hooked lead back up.

M144A	Double MOCNESS in Ring 81-D center to 1000m, late day. Station 4.  Oct. 1,1981.  

M145	Double MOCNESS in Slope Water to 1000m, night. Station 5.  Oct. 3,1981.  Light sensor 
apparently not plugged in.  Net 5 was hauled up to 530m but angle was too high so ship speed 
reduced, but too much.  Net dropped back to 570m before net speed increased to compensate.  
Net 15 fished between 133m and 75m- royal screw up on part of bridge and engine/ship came 
essentially to stop, net angle fell to zero.

M146	Double MOCNESS in Slope Water to 1000m, day. Station 5.  Oct. 5,1981.  ¼" tape 
failed.  Light sensor kaput.  

M147	Double MOCNESS in Slope Water to 1000m, night. Station 6.  Oct. 3,1981.  No 
¼" tape – 9-track only.  Net 8 fished twice – net sank from 196m to 290m.
