Remember when I told you several days ago about the flying fish? Well, one flew right onto the ship and died. Although it is sad to see a dead animal, it seemed like a good time to show you what they look like up close. They actually have wing-like structures that fan out while they fly. The rest of today's pictures show miscellaneous things going on here- a picture of me launching a weather balloon, a picture of Jack Miller from the University of Washington deploying the MMP, a picture of Sergio Pezoa from NOAA ETL risking life and limb to do research (not really), and a picture of John Mickett from the University of Washington as he tows the MMP back to the ship.

Note for educators: Although Jennifer and Jane's reseearch cruise ended, the EPIC research continues. Please use this web site, Jennifer and Jane's lesson plans, daily logs, the videos, and the photos to educate your students about climate, El Niño, and scientific research in general.

Consider this web site, as well as the TAO web site, a resource for teaching your students.

Many organizations and countries are involved in funding the EPIC Experiment. Primary U. S. funding is provided by The National Science Foundation and The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
