After spending a full year in the depths of the ocean, the Hybrid Profiler Mooring (HYPM) has been successfully recovered by the CGSN team aboard the RV Sikuliaq<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Using an acoustic release command, the team triggered the mooring to detach from its anchor and ascend to the surface. What came up: the bright orange syntactic sphere, riser components, profiling vehicle, instrument packages, and recovery buoyancy\u2014all intact and secured on deck.<\/p>\n

But the ocean is rarely gentle. Among the recovered gear were crushed glass flotation spheres, a stark reminder of the pressure and unpredictability found thousands of meters below.<\/p>\n

Another successful operation\u2014and a testament to the engineering and coordination behind every deployment and recovery.<\/p>\n
