Isabela Le Bras stands with a mooring off the coast of Newfoundland.
Caption from Oceanus online article:
Isabela Le Bras, a graduate student in the MIT/WHOI Joint Program in Oceanography, stands near a flotation sphere for a Line W mooring during a cruise to maintain the observatory. She is investigating why waters may be leaving the Deep Water Boundary Current in the region off Newfoundland.
Image Of the Day caption:
MIT-WHOI Joint Program student Isabela Le Bras stands in front of a flotation sphere on R/V Knorr in the North Atlantic. The sphere keeps a mooring, a string of instruments anchored to the ocean floor, upright in the water column. This particular mooring was deployed as part of the Line W project to monitor the velocity, temperature and salinity of the Deep Western Boundary current, which brings cold water south toward the equator. Data from this and other moorings is fundamental to scientists understanding of how ocean circulation affects Earth's climate system.
