Commentary:

We began the day expecting to circumnavigate the island continuously at 1 km offshore, with no scheduled RHIB (small boat) runs. However, by noon we had already made two runs and had another two scheduled - mostly visitors from Nauru, including a media team.

Visual Observations:

One of the most pleasant days of the campaign - gentle breezes and seas, with multi-layered but sparse clouds.

Instrument Status:

This is the last day for the Differential Absorption Lidar (DIAL) and High-Resolution Doppler Lidar (HRDL) observations. They will be broken down and packed starting tomorrow.
