This field activity is being conducted as part of the efforts to obtain baseline information prior to the potential oil impacts from the Deepwater Horizon incident. Weather conditions were sunny on 6/22 and most of 6/23. Skies were overcast in Everglades National Park on 6/23. Photos were taken out the tinted window of the aircraft and some color correction is needed. No Video was collected on this flight. About 20 minutes into the flight Nikon Capture crashed. Restart failed due to an unclosed error window. Once that was closed it operated correctly, however, in the process of figuring it out, Cleo was restarted. GPS data during the restart was recovered from the Commlogger.
