Profiler Mooring Deployed
The Coastal Profiler Mooring was successfully deployed in 600m water depth at MAB. The test deployment will verify the mooring and buoy design, as well…
CPM Deployment
A profiler mooring deployment starts with the buoy going over the transom. The Armstrong’s Bos’n (right) signals for the hauling winch to come up slowly…
ROV Control Station
ROV dive operations are controlled and monitored from a station in the ship’s lab. A darkened room provides better contrast for the monitors, which allow…
ROV Dive Prep
CGSN Team Members Irene Duran (foreground) and James Kuo (background) prepare the OOI ROV for operations on the back deck of the Armstrong. The ROV…
Sunrise over the Multi-Function Node
The OOI-CGSN team on the RV Neil Armstrong is in transit to the test mooring deployment sites. The Multi-Function Node is deployed with the Coastal…
