With a Little Help From My Friends

Engineers and crew members load the surface buoy of a Northwest Tropical Atlantic Station (NTAS) onto the research vessel Oceanus in July 2008. Funded through the Cooperative Institute for Climate and Ocean Research by NOAA’s Climate Program Office, the WHOI-built and deployed NTAS is part of the national Ocean Reference Stations project.
