Sparring with JASIN
May 2, 2011Between July and September of 1978 more than 50 teams of scientists from nine countries, including physical oceanographers from WHOI, participated in JASIN, the Joint Air-Sea Interaction Experiment. The experiment focused on the physical processes that drive mixing in ocean waters. Here, a 10-meter (30-foot) spar buoy goes through testing prior to deployment during JASIN. The free-drifting buoys carried current meters and other instruments and were deployed a total of eight times in the western North Atlantic during the experiment.
