Global Argentine Basin Array mooring operations.
Caption from Oceanus magazine, Vol. 53, No. 1, pg. 46:
Moored profilers like this travel up and down Global Array mooring lines, making a round trip every 20 hours, to collect high-resolution data from remote parts of the ocean, which scientists can see online within hours of collection.
Image Of the Day caption:
Jim Ryder of the WHOI Mooring Operations and Engineering Group (left) steadies the line of a wire-following profiler, part of a Global Array mooring aboard the research vessel Nathaniel B. Palmer at a remote ocean site off the coast of Argentina. The yellow enclosure houses a suite of instruments and transits up and down a mooring riser in the ocean to collect continuous, high-resolution measurements. The Global Arrays are part of the National Science Foundation-funded Ocean Observatories Initiativea system of long-term ocean arrays that gather data around the clock and relay them ashore in near real time to scientists, educators, and the public.
