Abstract
The intense light from inside the container shone out into the blackness through a tiny porthole, sheets of rain swirling in the illuminated beam. I opened the heavy door, shook off my coat and joined the others hunched in front of a monitor, waiting for the next shot. There it was. The horizontal line of the signal suddenly became traced as an undulating sinusoid, rapidly declining in size and back to nought. Then another signal, almost identical to the first and I felt a wave of relief. The survey should be fine now. Although the cabin was now being buffeted by wind and dashed by rain, perhaps we could finally get this survey done.
