I am awaiting my United Airlines flight from Newark to Houston, connecting to an overnight flight from Houston to Santiago de Chile. In anticipation of our cruise, the BBC has a nice article and brief video (click here for link) about the science to be conducted. One novel feature of the cruise is the inaugural use of Boaty McBoatface to sample water properties and processes in the Orkney Passage. I wrote about Boaty in a blog post on 24 October, 2016. At that time, I did not realize Boaty is painted yellow, hence he is a real ""yellow submarine". Besides offering a nice video about Boaty at his Southampton home, there is a brief sketch in this article about the science questions motivating the cruise.
