Image Of the Day caption:
WHOI engineer Jared Schwartz installed instruments on a Pioneer Array surface buoy tower prior to the buoy being deployed on the continental shelf and slope south of New England. The Array is a part of the NSF-funded Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI). Sensors on the towers measure the transfer of heat, moisture, momentum, and carbon at the air-sea interface, while sensors on the buoy's hull measure conditions at the sea surface. The towers also contain communication systems that allow data to be transferred from the mooring to shore and for shore-side operators to control the mooring.
