Hi Katie,

What would happen if you missed one of your five minute intervals?  Would it mess up the research you and your team are doing?  If this did happen, how would you be able to fix it?

I hope your trip is going great!

Hi JC,
Sometimes we do miss our 5-minute intervals for meetings or research. Wejust write down why we missed that time frame and continue where we leftoff. It can effect the research if one of the data collecting instrumentsstops working correctly and we are not there to correct the problem. We docorrect the depth scale of various instruments during a shift to producethe most accurate data. Thanks for your question.
