As part of the EKAMSAT collaboration between the US and India, WHOI researcher Alex Kinsella and engineers Emerson Hasbrouck and Benjamin Greenwood were aboard the R/V Thomas G. Thompson during April-June 2024 to study the onset of the Indian summer monsoon. Pictured above is a Seaglider instrument, operated by scientists from University of Washington, painted by a double rainbow just before deployment. Below is a timelapse of the ship entering a rainstorm, one of countless such storms that make up the summer monsoon.
