Ha! Well at least I can laugh at myself. I looked everywhere but on the first page. I looked at the detailed spreadsheet on the second page, I downloaded the spreadsheet in excel format. I looked everywhere but the most obvious place.

I guess it’s all Lagrangian to me.

Hi Fred-
When you enter the sensservice.com site and you get a spreadsheet listing of all the units, isn’t there a column that is labeled “message count”? Your two units, for example, have messages counts of 312 and 285, respectively.

PS I enjoyed your presentation yesterday.

Note: Those of you funded by the MATE project do not have to worry about this until your “message count” exceeds a few thousand. You can see your message count on the 8th column of the sensservice.com spreadsheet.

Jim, I don’t see this message count in the 8th column of the spreadsheet. Could you provide more information?

Thanks,

-Fred

Thanks for posting the photos of the bucket drifters. I see that they really are buckets!

Do you have any pictures of the “Kathleen” bucket drifter? This might be ideal for anyone interested in working in estuarine enviroments or semi-enclosed bays.
