Heather Furey (WHOI) and Mark Graham (UMiami) get the rosette ready for the first calibration cast of microcats and test of releases before Leg 2 moorings are deployed. Also on the package are the CTD (Conductivity-Temperature-Depth) sensors which relay water property values up a conducting cable as the package is lowered to near the sea floor.
