Kimberly Williams - July 23, 2002 NeMO NET is deployed While we waited for the weather to calm down, the Chief Scientist made the tough decision regarding the work we could safely undertake in the mean time. Despite the rough seas, we were able to retrieve and deploy a few moorings that will give us information about the water, temperature, and currents in the area where they are positioned. |
This brings to a close our expedition to Axial Volcano and NeMO for this year. From here we will be transferring a few personnel and then heading for Explorer Ridge where we will be making more dives with ROPOS and exploring a little known hydrothermal vent site named Magic Mountain. If you'd like to follow our adventures there during July 24th through August 5th, please link to NOAA's Ocean Exploration web site: http://oceanexplorer.noaa.gov/explorations/02fire/Thanks for your interest in our work at NeMO this year! |
