TN-284 **cancelled for 2012** 航次取消通知

7/26 update, TN-284 **cancelled for 2012**

Our research cruise is officially cancelled. Below is the message from our Chief Scientist, Dr. Andy Fisher: 


Hi Folks: 
The best possible outcome is that TGT gets back in the water on 8/8, not enough time for a partial TN-284 program this summer. Our project is deferred to Summer 2013.
I will be back in touch with the co-PI group to gather information concerning what we may wish to do about scheduling for next year. We can get our preferences into consideration, and press for getting a good match to our scheduling needs having been scrubbed from 2012.
I wish this could have ended otherwise.
Best wishes, Andy  

經過幾天的等待，我們得到最新的消息，航次因為研究船湯馬斯號，確定要到八月八號後才會修好，因為八月十一號又得進港，這四天的時間不足夠讓我們進行"短航次"，畢竟到研究地點來回就要花上兩整天的時間，因此今年的研究航次取消了。首席科學家的信中，有提到航次將延到明年暑假，讓我們期待明年的研究航次吧！


航次的取消的確讓人很沮喪，畢竟我們花了將近一整年的時間在準備，但往好處想，我們將會有另一整年的時間可以好好準備下個航次，我們將會作得更好的。
