BJ-IV is sailing without serious problems

Dear HARIMAU2011/SATREPS-MCCOE colleagues, Many thanks for your efforts.
(cc.Thanks also to Dr.Yamada/JAMSTEC for forwarding messages from BJ-IV)

Accoding to daily messages from Dr.Yoneyama and Dr.Kubota, BJ-IV is
sailing near 6.3S, 100.3E at around 13 JST (11 WIB) WSW-ward with 5-7 kt.
Although they felt waves probably from a cyclone yesterday, there are no
serious problems.

As a CINDY-related activity, they are planning to start rawinsonde
launching (6-hourly) and ocean-water sampling (3-hourly) from 06 UT
(13 WIB, 15 JST).

They will continue to sail for about two days more, and will stationary
observations at 8S, 95E.

Regards,
Manabu D. Yamanaka at BPPT, Jakarta
