Current Event

WHOI Engineer Assistant Dan Bogorff (left) and a crew member from the R/V Atlantic Explorer add a current meter to one of six moorings that were deployed down the southeast flank of Bermuda Rise as part of the DynAMITE program (Dynamics of Abyssal Mixing and Interior Transports Experiment). In keeping with its name, the field program got off to a bang with Hurricane Igor tracking directly over the array—and over Bermuda, where the ship and science crew waited out the storm. The cruise was headed by Ruth Curry, a WHOI Senior Research Specialist in Physical Oceanography. (Photo by Penny Foster, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution)
