Image Of the Day caption:
John Kemp of the WHOI Mooring Operations, Engineering and Field Support Group is lowered in a crane-operated basket from the Canadian Coast Guard Ship Louis S. St. Laurent in 2015 to recover an O-Buoy deployed two years earlier in the Arctic Ocean to measure atmospheric chemistry. Since 2003, WHOI scientists Andrey Proshutinsky and Rick Krishfield have spearheaded annual expeditions in the vast, remote Beaufort Gyre. They have deployed technology, including WHOI-developed Ice-Tethered Profilers, to unravel air-sea-ice interactions that influence the entire Arctic climate system and to discern changes that may be occurring in response to global warming caused by human activities.
