SUESI sets a second record.

Congratulations go out to SUESI 1, and her doppelgänger SUESI 2, currently enjoying some well earned R&R aboard RV Sikuliaq. The instrument(s) followed up their own tow depth record of 5100m w/a new record of 5200m, collected data successfully, and have since been setting off a rather large number of alerts that indicate the instruments are bit battle worn. Both instruments will spend a bit of time undergoing maintenance when they get back home to IGPP.  For now they’re resting on board while the remainder of the instruments are recovered.  To learn more about SUESI’s adventures—as well as those for the whole EM lab, visit: https://marineemlab.ucsd.edu/Projects/Megathrust/?fbclid=IwAR1LLA_WcDN82...
