Sun Today, Snow Tomorrow

WHOI research vessels like the R/V Knorr have to go where the science is. Sometimes that means late June in Barbados, where scientists Jim Broda and Al Gagnon (shown here) set up the WHOI long core for a mission to the Azores. Other times, it means late February and March in the icy North Atlantic, where the Knorr is currently scheduled to travel in order to map ocean currents and tempuratures northeast of Flemish Cap off Newfoundland, Canada.
