Mooring Deployment
We captured this Mooring Deployment
with the Amundsen's EM302 multibeam. The water column image proves to
be a usefull tool to monitor the descend of the mooring. The mooring
consists of a string of oceanographic instrumentation and floater
balls. A set of train wheels are used as weight at the end of the
string. The animation below shows the weight descending and the floats
following it. Shortly after touch down the water column becomes noisy
because the ship is in reverse.
