Keeping Up with Current Events

WHOI scientist emeritus Sandy Williams describes the Modular Acoustic Velocity Sensor (MAVS) to the 2008 class of WHOI Ocean Science Journalism Fellows. Williams and physical oceanographer Jim Churchill led the writers on short cruise on the research vessel Tioga to deploy the MAVS and other sensors to measure current patterns and cycles in Buzzards Bay.
