All done for Project RaCE:TraX on SD025, lots of seawater and mud to analyse thanks to all the support and enthusiastic help from amazing crew and scientists ❤️
#SDAScience continues, on to moorings and Hesperides Deep!

Today the #SDAScience expedition is undertaking a 24 hour yo-yo CTD (100 trips to the bottom and back without stopping) to understand changes in the water with the tidal cycle! This gives the crew a chance to get the boats in the water and the scientists a chance to have a jolly!

On our slow transit doing science on the way to Antarctica most of the kit we put into the water comes back on deck, but these drifting buoys, or #Argo floats, deployed for the @metoffice, remain in the ocean collecting data on their travels with the currents. @ukargo #SDAScience

The first ever polar waters science on the #RRSSirDavidAttenborough using the ship’s systems!
Important Ocean data and water samples collected by the CTD (Conductivity, Temperature, and Depth). #SDAScience
