  <ul>




    <li>Phase I continues to function as funded but w/Patrice Farrey
coordinating
the GOMLF tasks. Step one will be to generate an accounting of money
and
equipment broken down by association.</li>




    <li>Phase II allows individual associations to submit their own
budget. The
individual associations may contract GOMLF to do some of their work.
The <a href="budget_2001_new.htm">revised
budget sheet</a>&nbsp; remains basically the same w/breakdown by
association.</li>

(Anderson,
Gamage,
Buffington, Peabody, Shafmaster, ...).&nbsp; Waiting on their
"documentation"
in most cases.</li>




  <li>added several additions and changes to MeLA participant list
after
3-day
visit to mid-coast area</li>




  <li>added<a href="onepage_2001c.html">

spreadsheets
from
McCarron &amp; Patrice (see pull down list under "<a href="prompt_participant.cgi">registration</a>")</li>




  <li>updated the map of participants but realized it is getting too
crowded
to be effective &amp; will need to java-enhanced user interactivity (ie
zoom functionality) soon</li>




  <li>added notes on a) <a href="error6_9fix.html">trouble
shooting "error 9"</a>&nbsp; and&nbsp; b) ONSET's suggestion of

</ul>




15 Sep 2001
<ul>




  <li>Thanks to feedback from Bonnie, I made slight modifications to
the the
web-based registration program.</li>




</ul>




13 Sep 2001
<ul>




  <li>processed new temperature data from Mike <a href="mt.html">Tupper</a>,&nbsp;
Steve <a href="sk.html">Keane</a>,&nbsp;
and Skip <a href="sr.html">Ryan</a>/Chetwynd
at eMOLT sites "MT01-03", "SK01", and "SR01-02", respectively.</li>




  <li>recieved undocumented temperature data from MaLA's Fred Dauphinee
and
AOLA's
Grant Moore.</li>




  <li>ONSET order is delivered with 24 readers and 15 AOLA tidbits</li>




</ul>




12 Sep 2001
<ul>




  <li>made slight changes to the convention on naming deployment
sites.&nbsp;
Where before participants were asked to use a 2-digit vessel code, they
are now allowed to name sites by their own initials.&nbsp; For example,
Steve Keane's sites are referred to as "SK01", "SK02", etc.&nbsp; Only
those participants who either a) have multiple vessels/captains or b)
have
initials the same as other eMOLT participants are ask to stick with the
vessel code convention for naming distinct geographic sites.</li>




  <li>Also note that the "probe setting" description is now worded
slightly
different.&nbsp;
It is now described as a "2-digit # referring to consecutive
reprogramming
of the particular probe at this particular site" whereas before this
probe
setting was incremented regardless of site.&nbsp; If the probe is moved
to a new site, the "probe setting" is now reinitialized&nbsp; to "1".</li>




  <li> <a href="http://www.FishResearch.org/Articles/2001/09/Migration.asp">article
appears in CFN&nbsp; on eMOLT</a></li>




</ul>




10 Sep 2001
<ul>




  <li>processed new data from Bob Baines, Jim Tripp, and Steve Keane</li>




</ul>




31 Aug 2001
<ul>




  <li>sent feedback to SEABIRD on <a href="note2seabird.html">problems
encountered with test deployments of Microcat</a></li>




</ul>




29 Aug 2001
<ul>




  <li>made small modifications to the registration form (call me at
508-495-2211
after making a few entries to verify the information is getting loaded
properly)</li>




  <li>posted the <a href="aug28meeting.html">summary
of eMOLT rep meeting </a>(Manning, McCarron, and Spinazzola) in Woods
Hole
on 28 August</li>




  <li>posted results of first Aquarium deployment of the Microcat under
"probe
comparisons" of the <a href="admin_manual.html">administrators
manual.</a></li>




</ul>




27 Aug 2001
<ul>




  <li>improved the <a href="staplt_la.html">eMOLT
satellite image utility</a> to allow users to click on&nbsp; a "region
of interest"&nbsp; rather than having to plug in lat/lon coordinates</li>




</ul>




19 Aug 2001
<ul>




  <li>First aquarium deployment of the SEABIRD Microcat SBE37SM probes
(measuring
salinity as well as temeprature) was successful.&nbsp; Started a <a href="sbe37sm.html">manual
for potential eMOLT SBE37sm users.</a></li>




</ul>




13 Aug 2001
<ul>




  <li>An <a href="http://www2.bostonherald.com/news/local_regional/lobs08132001.htm">article
appeared in the Boston Herald</a> where many interviewed blame the cold
temperatures for low catch this year.</li>




</ul>




9 Aug 2001
<ul>




  <li>After consulting with Dave Casoni, decided to add the handwritten
log
option
for "documenting the deployments".&nbsp; The participant's manual now
mentions
this as one of four methods to record station/haul information. Ideally
we would want this submitted electronically but we will except the
handwritten
(ie hardcopy) logs for the time being.&nbsp; This only means the
association
representatives will be laden with data entry work.</li>




  <li>McCarron reported the first salinity probe has been ordered from
Seabird</li>




</ul>




6 Aug 2001
<ul>




  <li>removed link to CFN article until after publication</li>




  <li>updated the "results from the field" page with new chart of
participants</li>




</ul>

of&nbsp; the tidal cycle</a></li>




</ul>




<p><br>




16 July 2001
</p>




<ul>




  <li>Started adding some more historical temperature time series from
US
Lightship
collection (recently rescued by WHOI) including Mt. Desert Rock
(1960-1971),
...</li>




  <li>updated emolt_people table&nbsp; and called Mass Lobster
Association
participants
on the phone</li>




</ul>

  <li>added option to <a href="prompt_info_set.cgi">"Document
the Deployment" via the web</a> to go directly into the eMOLT database</li>




  <li>revised/simplified&nbsp; the "<a href="manual.html">Getting
Started Manual for Participants</a>"&nbsp; to be for ONSET probes
specifically</li>

technology page</a></li>




</ul>




<p><br>




11 July 2001
</p>




<ul>




  <li>added Millstone Nuclear Power Station temperature series
(1976-2000) to
database (thanks to Don Landers at Northeast Utilities in Waterford,
Ct.)</li>




</ul>




10 July 2001
<ul>




  <li>generated a list of <a href="emolt_todo.html">project
"to do" item</a>s&nbsp; and notified the administrators</li>




  <li>began planning a series of meetings with McCarron (July),&nbsp;
administrators
(August), and everyone participants included (this fall).</li>
