The mooring has been recording ocean and sea ice properties all year, and the team is eager to collect the data from each of the instruments. Once the Louis arrived at the location of last year&#8217;s deployment, Mary-Louise Timmermans and the WHOI team began communicating with the mooring by sending it an acoustic signal through the seawater. Devices on the mooring send\u00a0pings to the ship team, which allow them to pinpoint its\u00a0precise location. The science team was then able to send a signal to these devices to release the mooring from its seafloor anchor (including its sensors which are vertically positioned along a ~3800-meter wire, all held up by a surface float), causing the yellow surface buoy to emerge at the ocean&#8217;s surface. Once the buoy was floating in the water, deckhand Jerome Sibley was lowered in the man-basket to hook the mooring so it could be brought on board.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike the buoys we deploy, the moorings do not transmit data throughout the year, so we can only retrieve the data from the past year after the mooring is recovered. Once the mooring recovery was completed, Mary-Louise and the WHOI team quickly went to work re-programming the mooring equipment to prepare it for re-deployment tomorrow! In the meantime, other members of the science crew have been busy completing the CTD\/bongo casts at this location. We will remain at the mooring site until tomorrow once the re-deployment of Mooring B is complete!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www2.whoi.edu\/site\/beaufortgyre\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/108\/2024\/09\/Map-10.png\" alt=\"Map showing our current location\" height=\"797\" width=\"1023\" title=\"Map\" \/>\n\t\tMap showing our current location\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www2.whoi.edu\/site\/beaufortgyre\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/108\/2024\/09\/Satellite.png\" alt=\"A satellite image of the sea ice pack with our location as the yellow star.\" height=\"1011\" width=\"1430\" title=\"Satellite\" \/>\n\t\tA satellite image of the sea ice pack with our location as the yellow star.\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www2.whoi.edu\/site\/beaufortgyre\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/108\/2024\/09\/photoe1.jpg\" alt=\"Bosun Rico Amamio and the WHOI team take the MMP off the mooring wire.\" height=\"867\" width=\"653\" title=\"photoe1\" \/>\n\t\tBosun Rico Amamio and the WHOI team take the MMP off the mooring wire.\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www2.whoi.edu\/site\/beaufortgyre\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/108\/2024\/09\/Photo2-8.jpg\" alt=\"The top portion of the mooring is brought on board.\" height=\"907\" width=\"684\" title=\"Photo2\" \/>\n\t\tThe top portion of the mooring is brought on board.\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www2.whoi.edu\/site\/beaufortgyre\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/108\/2024\/09\/Photo3-7.jpg\" alt=\"Jerome Sibley prepares to hook the top sphere of the mooring.\" height=\"849\" width=\"641\" title=\"Photo3\" \/>\n\t\tJerome Sibley prepares to hook the top sphere of the mooring.\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www2.whoi.edu\/site\/beaufortgyre\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/108\/2024\/09\/Photo4-7.jpg\" alt=\"Nico Llanos monitors the mooring being winched onto the ship\" height=\"715\" width=\"953\" title=\"Photo4\" \/>\n\t\tNico Llanos monitors the mooring being winched onto the ship\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dispatch 12: Recovery of Mooring B Ashley Arroyo (Yale University) September 10, 2024 18:00 UTC, 78.00\u00b0N 149.59\u00b0W Conditions: Mostly cloudy 50% sea ice cover -3.3\u00b0C Winds 7.3 knots southeasterly Sunrise: 09-Sep-2024 07:57:11 -06 Sunset: 09-Sep-2024 23:56:44 -06 Day length: 15h 59mn 32s Today, the buoy\/mooring team from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) recovered Mooring B,&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":188,"featured_media":0,"parent":3557,"menu_order":12,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"tpl-sidebar.php","meta":{"advanced-sidebar-menu\/link-title":"Dispatch 12: Recovery of Mooring B","advanced-sidebar-menu\/exclude-page":false},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www2.whoi.edu\/site\/beaufortgyre\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3698"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www2.whoi.edu\/site\/beaufortgyre\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www2.whoi.edu\/site\/beaufortgyre\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www2.whoi.edu\/site\/beaufortgyre\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/188"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www2.whoi.edu\/site\/beaufortgyre\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3698"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www2.whoi.edu\/site\/beaufortgyre\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3698\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3706,"href":"https:\/\/www2.whoi.edu\/site\/beaufortgyre\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3698\/revisions\/3706"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www2.whoi.edu\/site\/beaufortgyre\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3557"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www2.whoi.edu\/site\/beaufortgyre\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3698"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
