Caption from Oceanus magazine, Vol. 48, No. 1, pg. 33:
To take longer-term measurements of ocean currents, the researchers deployed several moorings, each anchored by a cable extending up from the seafloor. Big yellow flotation buoys (above) atop the moorings keep the cable taut. Attached to the line are a variety of instruments, such as current meters and temperature and salinity sensors, which store data until the mooring is recovered perhaps a year later.
