MS-0 was deployed successfully at 36.75192N, 121.83868W at 23.9 m water depth.

Visibility was very restricted and currents were very strong and with variable heading. It was hard to maneuver the frame and place the ADCP facing currents, as requested,. The final deployed orientation is with the ADCP end of the frame pointing 8 degrees North. Prevailing current at the time was coming from the south, nearly 180 degrees from this orientation, but pilots felt that is was very hard to maneuver with the mooring swinging unpredictably while hanging from the arm, so we decided to deploy it without trying to finesse the orientation any longer.
