The 2008 RaDyO experiment location is just north of the SB Channel shipping lanes
(light purple arrows) and well east of Plumes and Blooms
Station #4 and of the NDBC Buoy #46053.
During the day, KM was located at 34 13.3N, 119 37.7W (173 m depth) or 1 nt mi north of FLIP
at 34 12.312N, 119 34.715W .
R/V Kilo Moana collected data from September 9 ?25, 2009 and R/P FLIP collected data from
September 7-28, 2009. Event logs for each platform are available from Tommy and Luc, respectively.

SBC surface slicks:
Surface slicks are generally not an issue >4-5 miles offshore. The optimal location for avoiding slicks is near the NOAA buoy (NDBC #46053), which is in about 417 m of
relatively optically clear water (in late-summer).
