This global surface mooring was deployed in September 2014 in the Irminger Sea as part of the Global Arrays component of the NSF-funded Ocean Observatories Initiative. The mooring is designed to support scientific instrumentation that will provide data throughout 2015. Scientific sensors will measure air-sea fluxes of heat, moisture, and momentum, as well as physical, biological, and chemical properties throughout the water column.
