Woo, riding around the edge of an eddy and sampling for omics and sensors- new use case. I was recovered at the blue dot - started at a red dot to the right, drifter track in the center. Eddies can bring nutrients towards the surface and stimulate productivity. Also useful for robot joyrides.
I’m untethered! The exact moment it happened with engineer hop.
Successful dive and recovery to the eddy center, 18 sample depths down to 800 meters deep and engineering tests completed too.
thanks @maratimes.bsky.social and @akrinos.bsky.social for eddy sleuthing detection on land.
