Hybrid Profiler Mooring Serviced at Sea

Following the recovery of the Hybrid Profiler Mooring (HYPM), the CGSN team conducted a full inspection of the system. All components were checked, with any old or damaged parts refurbished or replaced, before the entire mooring was rebuilt.

This marks the first time the HYPM and its profiling vehicle have been serviced entirely at sea. Conducting the work on board allowed the team to complete the turnaround more efficiently. In one of the R/V Revelle’s shipboard labs, CGSN engineers James Kuo and Dan Bogorff refurbished the mooring’s electronics in preparation for redeployment.
