Fishing for an AUV

Senior scientist Al Plueddemann hooks the handle of the autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) REMUS so that it can be safely lifted onto the deck during a study of the wintertime coastal current system east of Cape Cod. Former WHOI postdoctoral fellow Andrey Shcherbina waits to prevent the REMUS from colliding with the stern of the R/V Tioga. Woods Hole Sea Grant funded the 2007 project, led by senior scientist Glen Gawarkiewicz of the Physical Oceanography department.
