Into the Sunset
June 21, 2014In May 2013, R/V Knorr sailed through a spectacular sunset on the western Atlantic Ocean near the equator. On the trip, Knorr took a group of scientists from WHOI and other institutions in search of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in the deep ocean. With over 44 years of exploring the ocean under her belt Knorr has seen many a sunset and covered well over one million miles. R/V Neil Armstrong is scheduled to replace Knorr in 2015. The ship is far from winding down, however, with a full slate of cruises for the rest of 2014r, including a long-core trip scheduled for the end of the year.(Photo by Krista Longnecker, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution)
