WHOI Women Wear Red

Wearing red in recognition of International Women’s Day yesterday, WHOI engineers and assistants check out a newly-developed in-line instrument frame. Three in-line frames will be added to the surface moorings at the NSF-funded Ocean Observatories Initiative’s Global Arrays, such as the one in the Irminger Sea.  Suspended in the water at 40, 80, and 130 meters below the surface, these frames will contain instruments to measure salinity, temperature, depth, fluorescence, dissolved oxygen, and dissolved carbon dioxide.
