Image Of the Day caption:
This Labor Day, a very satisfied team on R/V Neil Armstrong is headed to port after successfully servicing moorings on the OSNAP (Overturning in the Subpolar North Atlantic Program) array to the east and west of the southern tip of Greenland, the windiest part of the world's ocean. The team lost a week of mooring operations to bad weather, including a phenomenon known as a "tip jet," in which winds can accelerate to greater than hurricane force as they funnel around Cape Farewell. Despite this, they were able to service 31 moorings and complete 314 CTD casts. The science team and ship's crew signed the final mooring ball before deploying it on Saturday.
