To view the photographs taken with the digital camera, follow the links provided to the left. Below, we provide a link to the places on the ship where we took pictures.
We took 3 pictures at each location, each at a different angle. Each angle taken was considered a separate station. Station 2 is the picture taken directly out from the rear of the ship. Station 1 is 30 degrees clockwise from station 2. Station 3 is taken 30 degrees counterclockwise from station 2. We moved in a counter clockwise direction around the ship. There was no specific reason for this, other than ease of movement which allows the photographer to take all of the pictures in a smaller interval of time.
Description of data format on the cloud pages:
Each hour of each day will have pictures and surface MET data
associated with them. The following is a description of the format of
the MET data.
