Caption from Oceanus magazine, Vol. 53, No. 1, pg. 47:
The technical complexity of deploying Global Array moorings in the challenging places where they are located means that much of their success rests in the design, preparation, and staging done by engineers and mooring technicians.
Image Of the Day caption:
WHOI Mooring Operations and Engineering Group member Meghan Donohue keeps an eye on the mooring line as she leads recovery of a Global Surface Mooring during a recent R/V Neil Armstrong cruise to the Global Irminger Sea Array, part of the NSF-funded Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI). The device she has her eye on is a compact CTD (conductivity, temperature, depth) sensor, one of several dozen different instruments attached to the line or the buoy in the background. The array's surface mooring and two sub-surface moorings give scientists a comprehensive, round-the-clock look at the ocean and atmosphere in a region critical to Earth's climate system.
