This season's program went very smoothly and we thank the staff of Antarctic Division and all the staff at Scott Base for efficiently implementing our field program. We are especially grateful to John Alexander (Scott Base Operations Manager) the Scott base mechanics, Store Personnel, Garth Varcoe and his group who moved some of our equipment to Cape Roberts early in the season.
NZARP Surveyors, Garth Falloon and Pat Sole, provided invaluable survey assistance and helped establish the Cape Roberts tide gauge.
The VUW Mechanical Workshop maintained and built new equipment for this program which included the tide gauge frame and mooring recovery equipment. Eric Broughton (VUW RSES) and Peter Issacs (NZ Meteorological Office), helped with the development and programming of the tide gauge and NZ Oceanographic Institute (DSIR) maintained the S4 current meter.
