<p>The short animation was downloaded in March 2007 from the SOFeX project Web site hosted at MBARI. It was originally published as a .avi format file (compatible with Windows Media Player or Real Player software), and has been converted to Flash by the OCB DMO.</p> <p>The brief animation depicts the ship tracks of all three vessels that participated in the SOFeX sampling cruises during austral summer 2002. The animation begins with the R/V Revelle departing Lyttelton, NZ and heading south toward the SOFeX study area. The R/V Revelle ship track is represented by red dots, the R/V Melville ship track is green, the USCGC Polar Star ship track is blue and the North (N) patch drifter is black. There is no audio track. </p> <p>The SOFeX project cruise track and sampling area are plotted on a southern polar projection map (view map as <a href=\"http://ocb.whoi.edu/SOFeX/CRUISES/CruiseTrack_sofex.jpg\">JPG image</a>). </p>
