Image Of the Day caption:
In November, Jeff Lord and Sean Whelan from the WHOI Upper Ocean Processes Group boarded the Indian research vessel Saga Nidhi to deploy a buoy in the Bay of Bengal equipped with an Air-Sea Interaction Meteorology (ASIMET) system. The instruments on the buoy will track the transfer of heat, water, and momentum between the ocean and atmosphere in an effort to understand the factors that influence the Indian monsoon, a seasonal precipitation pattern that delivers much of the subcontinent's annual rainfall.
