Friday was a great day to be aboard the Armstrong. The weather cooperated and the team recovered the inshore profiler mooring. Shown here are some of its components in the order in which they were recovered:  Submersible surface buoy, subsurface flotation sphere, and wire-following profiler.  The latter is instrumented and moves up and down the mooring wire recording ocean observations.
