An instrumented "Platform Interface Assembly" from the Slope Base site is recovered onto the deck of the R/V Revelle during the OOI-NSF Cabled Array expedition lead by the University of Washington. The platform was attached to a 7,000 lb, 12 ft across mooring platform at 200 m beneath the suface. Attached to the cable it host 18 instruments sending live data to shore 24/7. Credit: M. Elend, University of Washington, V18.

A fish-eye view of the fantail of the R/V Revelle. This ship camera provides a continous overview of the back deck, allowing folks working inside the ship to monitor operations. Its a beautiful day today.
