 WHOI scientist Mike Jakuba (right) devised a real-time visualization system that allowed the scientists to simulataneously see Sentry's track along with the chemicals detected by TETHYS. As a result, scientists, including James Kinsey and Dana Yoerger (left), could watch an image of the subsea plume appear as their "bloodhound" tracked petrochemicals in the deep sea.
