Two Coast Guard deck members aboard the Coast Guard Cutter Healy ready a conductivity temperature depth profiler for deployment during night operations along the Barrow Canyon, Friday, Sept. 1, 2017. The CTD profiler is arranged in an array of grey Niskin bottles, referred to as a rosette, with a conducting wire cable attached to the frame so that collected data can be instantaneously viewed from an onboard computer.
