Image of The Day caption:
Engineer Jason Smith from WHOI's Upper Ocean Processes Group tests part of the data-transmission system of a new mooring before deployment. The big yellow cylinder on deck to his right contains modems that allow the buoy to collect real-time data from instruments below the surface, and transmit it back to scientists ashore; the large black hose connects to the mooring's instrument-bearing buoy. Physical oceanographer Tom Farrar heads this project and led the cruise to place the mooring in the Red Sea in October 2008.
