Image Of the Day caption:
In 2016 in the Irminger Sea near Greenland, WHOI Deck Operations Leader John Kemp (left of floats at the deck edge), other members of the WHOI Mooring Group, and R/V Armstrong crew members recover a mooring deployed in 2015. Chartreuse floatsglass balls in protective plastic shellsare brought on deck one after another, while the surface buoy they are connected to is a speck on the horizon. This Global Surface Mooring is part of the National Science Foundation-supported Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI), a networked infrastructure of sensor systems that measure and monitor ocean conditions. The mooring carries instruments at the air-sea interface and on the vertical cable down to 1,500 meters (4921 feet) that measure conditions and changes in the Irminger Sea, an ocean region important in global ocean circulation.
