In the Fall of 1994 I worked for the Brookhaven National Laboratory CO2 group (a group of researchers studying the uptake of greenhouse gases by the world ocean) in Upton, NY preparing for a 50 day research cruise in the Southern Indian Ocean. The cruise was scheduled to leave Freemantle, Australia on 1 December 1994, and go as far south as possible before retreating to warmer and less ice-laden waters some 50 days later. We would travel as far east as 82 E longitude on the eastern transect and follow a Northerly course along 115 E longitude on our return to Freemantle in January, aboard the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution's R/V Knorr.
