A large, disk-shaped acoustic modem provides two-way communications. It relays undersea data from the corer to the ship (such as how far the corer is from the seafloor). It also receives and executes commands from the ship (including when to release the corer to plunge into the seafloor to collect sediment). (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution)
