There are just some daily checks on them to make sure that they are running correct. Johan Booth is my partner out at ARO and we kind of split up duties. For instance he does most of the ozone stuff like launching balloons and taking dobson measurements. I take care of the flask sampling. Nick Hi Mark,

Thank you for introducing me to more that our world has to offer.
