Service calls to buoys in the middle of the ocean are anything but routine. In April 2006, research specialist Frank Bahr and senior engineering assistant Jeff Lord from the WHOI Upper Ocean Processes Group were dropped off for several hours by the research vessel Oceanus to conduct at-sea repairs on the Air-Sea Interaction Meteorology (ASIMET) buoy in the Gulf Stream. ASIMET sensors measure heat, sunlight, winds, precipitation, humidity, barometric pressure, air and sea surface temperatures, and salinity. The research crew had to inspect and repair the buoy after it was damaged, probably by a passing ship.
