1. Using the winch, the CTD Rosette is lifted out of the water. (photo by Dan Torres, WHOI)

2. When the CTD Rosette comes out of the water, the science team attaches lines to it using long poles with hooks on the end. (photo by Dan Torres, WHOI)

3. When the Rosette is recovered (brought back on deck), the science team uses lines to keep the instrument from swinging. (photo by Dan Torres, WHOI)

4. The CTD Rosette is pushed into the wet lab after a deployment. This keeps the instrument (and scientists) safe from large waves and also allows the science team to draw water from the Niskin bottles in the warmth of the wet lab. (photo by Dan Torres, WHOI)

5. An iceberg lurks in the distance as the Knorr gets close to the coast of Greenland. (photo by Dan Torres, WHOI)
