The thermistor buoys arriving at the field station early Tuesday morning. | |
Each buoy was carefully lifted off the truck before being individually carried to the ship dock. |
|
Each buoy box was loaded onto the Ship Arabella, for transport out to sea. | |
Every 15 minutes, real-time temperature data from each of the 12 buoys is sent back to the field station for immediate access to the world. |

The orange instrument, called an Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) is used to measure transects of sea currents. This instrument works much as a policeman's radar does. It's metal housing is called a Majid and floats the ADCP along the side of the boat. | |
