CTD Recovered from Slope Base
The CTD is recovered from a water depth of 2902 m at the base of the subduction zone at a site where full water column moorings will be deployed next year and connected to the cable. The ROV ROPOS attached a snaphook to the top of the CTD frame, securing it under the ROV for transport to the surface. Photo credit: NSF-OOI/UW/CSSF.
