Even a fleet of thousands of ocean-monitoring instruments can disappear into the vast oceans and rarely, if ever, get spotted. Until recently, floats 312 and 393 were no different.

The buoy was equipped with meteorological instrumentation, which measured wind speed and direction, air temp, barometric pressure, relative humidity, long- and short- radiation. The mooring line had instrumentation attached that measured horizontal current velocity, sea surface temp, sea temp, conductivity, chlorophyll absorption and surface rain. » Visit Website  NTASAlbert Plueddemann, Physical Oceanography Department "A Northwest Tropical Atlantic Station for Flux Measurement" A surface mooring was placed in the tropical Atlantic, where there are strong SST anomalies and significant local air-sea interaction. These data will be used to determine in-situ fluxes of heat, moisture and momentum, and then to use these in-situ fluxes to make a regional assessment of flux components from numerical weather prediction models and satellites, and to determine the degree to which the oceanic budgets of heat and momentum are locally balanced. » Visit Website  ArgoW.

During that time, surface and subsurface mooring were set around the world, by WHOI scientists. This dataset was organized by Susan Tarbell.
