Making a Splash

Making a Splash

September 18, 2012

A mooring anchor entered the North Atlantic in dramatic fashion last week from the stern of R/V Knorr. The mooring is part of the SPURS (Salinity Processes in the Upper Ocean Regional Study) cruise to study sea-surface salinity in the saltiest part of the ocean. The cruise is being led by WHOI oceanographer Ray Schmitt to better understand small-scale and recent, broad changes to salinity patterns that might reveal information about the workings of the global water cycle.
