VENUS Maintenance Cruise – Sep 30 to Oct 4 2011

The VENUS team will be at sea conducting a regular maintenance cruise between September 30 and October 4 2011. An upgraded node will deployed in Saanich Inlet so we will have live data streaming in from this region again next week. The Delta Dynamics and Central VIP sites in Strait of Georgia will also be serviced and a hydrophone array will be installed at 300m depth. There will be data interruptions during this time so our live data tools may be unavailable (live data applets, XML services, data plots, hydrophone and streaming webcam feeds). Archived data will still be accessible from the Download Data page.

Saanich Inlet offline until October 2011 (est.)

Saanich Inlet VIP has been successfully recovered for servicing and will be offline until late October 2011 (estimated). An autonomous mooring is in place and data will be back-filled on retrieval at that time.
