PURPOSE OF EXPEDITION:

  Terminate MOBY-M215 deployment and begin MOBY-M216 deployment.  

  Collect bio-optical calibration/validation data for MODIS-Terra. 


EXPEDITION SUMMARY:

  MOBY-M215 was retrieved on 28 Feb 2001, and MOBY-M216 was 
  deployed on 4 Mar 2001.  Diver calibrations were performed
  on 8 Mar 2001.

  Nine bio-optical oceanographic data stations were conducted 
  during MOCE-8.  Clouds and high winds were detracting factors
  during data collection for seven of the nine stations.
