Southern Ocean, SW of Chile

Location: 55°S, 90°W
Water Depth: 4800 meters 
Mooring Type: Acoustically Linked Surface Mooring with Subsurface Profiler Mooring and Mesoscale Flanking Mooring Pair 
Description of Infrastructure:

• One acoustically-linked Global Surface Mooring, with high-power (fuel cell) buoy and high-bandwidth (active antenna) satellite telemetry
• One Global Hybrid Profiler mooring with one wire following profiler and one surface piercing profiler
• Two subsurface Mesoscale Flanking Moorings with fixed sensors and acoustic communications to gliders
• Acoustic telemetry link with transducer 10m below the surface buoy
• Inductive telemetry link within upper 1000m of the Surface Mooring and throughout the Profiler Mooring
• Three gliders with extended endurance and acoustic communications to the Mesoscale Flanking Moorings
