SUNSET SAMPLING.
Researchers aboard research vessel Neil Armstrong launch a CTD sensor to measure conductivity (saltiness), temperature, and depth in ocean waters off the coast of Cape Hatteras, N.C., just beyond the continental shelf. The researchers, including WHOI scientists Magdalena Andres, Glen Gawarkiewicz, and Robert Todd, were investigating recent variations in the Gulf Stream as part of the multi-institutional PEACH project, which aims to help scientists better anticipate the coastal ocean's response to climate change.

Researchers aboard R/V Neil Armstrong launch a conductivity, temperature, and depth (CTD) sensor during an April expedition off the coast of Cape Hatteras, N.C., where shallow-water currents collide with deep-water currents just beyond the continental shelf. By gathering water samples at various depths, the CTD gives scientists a comprehensive profile of water temperature, salinity (saltiness), and density, which plays a primary role in driving major ocean currents.
