The first step in the cable loading process is to pack the flange box used by ROPOS for seafloor deployment. The flange box protects the components and makes them easier for the ROV to handle on the seafloor. Components are the 400- to 4700-meter long secondary cable (yellow), cable termination (cylindrical titanium case near the top), oil-filled hose (orange), and the ROV wet-mateable connector (with orange handle and green ring next to coiled hose) that will plug into a receptacle on the primary or secondary node.

Custom-designed secondary cable is delivered from the manufacturer on wooden reels (left). The cable must then be transfered to the aluminum drum (right) used in the ROV ROPOS cable laying system.

Axial Caldera Image

Location of nodes, cables and instruments to be deployed during the VISIONS'13 expedition at, and near, the ASHES Hydrothermal Vent Field.

The cabled geophysical array at the Central Caldera Site is focused on measuring the inflation and deflation of the volcano, earthquakes, and the movement of of molten lava within the core of the volcano. Bathymetric data are from D. Clague and D. Caress, MBARI. Image Credit: University of Washington.
