Figure 11. Coil-cord conductor around one of the four elastic tethers on the deck of the R/V Gulf Challenger ready for deployment in December 2005. The base of the buoy is seen on the left, MAVS current meter is in the lower left, the mid-water Seacat is in the mid-right, the anchor in the top and the bottom package with release is seen at the top right. The coil-cord brings signals from the mid-water Seacat to the buoy for telemetry recording and telemetry.
