To reveal how waters flow in the oceans, scientists stop the ship and lower and retrieve a package of instruments called a CTD. It measures seawater conductivity (a proxy for salinity) and temperature at various depths. The ship crew completed 263 CTD casts at many locations on the monthlong expedition.
