IRMINGER: The Overturning the in the Subpolar North Atlantic Program (OSNAP) has a line of moorings on either side of the OOI array. Those moorings are being recovered and re-deployed with new instrumentation. One mooring has a subsurface sphere which needed to be cleaned prior to redeployment. Other moorings have glass balls to provide buoyancy at the top. Cages with instruments are located at specific depths to measure different water masses which are flowing through this area. The OSNAP team was lucky to get a sunny day for their deployments! Credit: Sheri N. White © WHOI.
