The AOSN deployment schedule is dictated by the availability of the Pt. Sur. Deployment of assets will be made according to the following 5 experiment blocks plus a shakedown period "Block 0". Many assets are always available and not listed below. Schedules for other assets, such as aircraft, are still TBD and therefore not listed below. We are negotiating to have the RV John Martin available from 14 July to 7 Sept. with some restrictions.
