"The singing voices of the sun and moon sounded in the ocean"

The 3-hourly CTD observation at the fixed station is for listening to the various voices in the ocean.
The sea water in the surface layer of 0-30 m depth sings with the sun and the moon joins below 80 m depth.
Someone probably should join in the chorus in lower voices behind them.
The high-frequency operation is necessary so that the observation should catch the various melodies.

"From surface"

I just found the article on Dec.7 titled "From space". The line shape convective system in the article may be same one which passed over R/V Mirai in the arternoon on Dec.7.

The attached photos were taken from Mirai, at before, during and after the passage. The radar-captured echo top height was generally shallow (around 5-km). However after the passage, we were suffrered by strong wind (15 m/s in average) until the next morning (roughly 3/4 days). After the strong wind left, we are under the calm condition until now.

"Beautiful sunset in Bengkulu"

Finally, I arrived at Bengkulu.
I can not imagine such beautiful sunset was seen in Bengkulu from the IR image. But this amazing photo was taken just before operational 12UTC balloon was lunched by BMKG.
