WHOI senior engineering assistant Jeff Lord keeps an eye on the gear while guiding winch operators as they recover the STRATUS VI moored buoy in October 2006 off of the coast of Chile. The bottom of the buoy is covered in gooseneck barnacles. The Stratus experiment is supported through the Cooperative Institute for Climate and Ocean Research (CICOR), a partnership between the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
