Global Arrays and Moorings

Caption

Building and maintaining Global Arrays is an impressive feat of engineering. Moorings at these deep water arrays extend several miles to the ocean floor, making them especially challenging to design, deploy, and recover. They also extend the reach of scientists to parts of the ocean that are difficult to study any other way
