All Systems Go

WHOI engineers Kate McMonagle and John Lund work on an instrument that measures the concentration of carbon dioxide in both the air and the surface water. It is one of several sensors that will be mounted on a surface mooring for a test deployment of the Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI). The OOI is a multi-year, multi-institution program to establish sustained observing arrays at key locations in the ocean. WHOI leads the implementation of the Coastal and Global Nodes of the OOI, which include the Endurance Array, off the coast of Oregon, and the Pioneer Array off the coast of the Northeast U.S.
