Quality Routine Trawls were approximately every second CTD station.
The target trawls were conducted when an interesting trace was seen on the echo sounders.

The RMT CTD calibration was completed prior to departure.
The quality of the sensor data are as reported in the referenced calibration reports. The net open time is not 100% accurate as there were times when the net was jerked open, but these times were not noted. There is no way that this time can be corrected.
