Betty - November 10

Betty continues moving to the east along the shelf edge south of Louisiana. She appears to be in the vicinity of a fair amount of oil production activity. Maybe she wants to see what a $100 barrel looks like...

Betty - November 5

Betty has been on the move! Currently, she is moving east along the 200-1000 m contour south of Texas.

Over the past day she has been picking her way around oil production structures, according to the base chart provided by CLS/Argos. Over the past week she has made a few dives to 400-500 m, and even one dive to 500-600 m, and up to 11-15 min in duration. To date, Betty's tag has transmitted about 9,000 times (of a projected 25,000 for this battery). Battery voltage is still well within the acceptable range.
