Coastal Profiler Mooring Operations

The team carried out both deployment and recovery operations for the Northern Profiler Mooring (NOPM) during the Pioneer 22 cruise. These moorings play a key role in capturing detailed vertical profiles of the water column, helping to track changing ocean conditions over time.

The photos highlight the careful coordination and teamwork involved in handling large, instrumented moorings at sea—an essential part of maintaining continuous observations at the Pioneer Array.
