I’ll Follow the Sun

The Sun sets over the Atlantic Ocean near Andros Island, Bahamas, on April 19, 2008. Researchers from WHOI’s Acoustic Communications Group deployed and retrieved buoys—two are resting on the fantail of the research vessel Roger Revelle—during a recent communications experiment conducted for the Office of Naval Research. The buoys were used for testing acoustic modems, which help scientists and engineers communicate with underwater instruments. (Photo by Keenan Ball, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution)
