Question

You are the one of many scientists aboard the new boat Stream Line. This boat was constructed in Woods Hole and will be used to collect water samples at various depths through the entire Gulf Stream and to deploy equipment that will monitor the temperature and velocity of current. What scientific instruments will you and the rest of the crew use to collect this information? What aspects of the water’s chemistry might you look at?

Answer 1

Answer:

• The dream of building a manned deep ocean research submersible first started to move toward reality on February 29, 1956. Allyn Vine of Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) attended a symposium in Washington, where participants drafted a resolution that the U.S. develop a national program for manned undersea vehicles. From this beginning the community eventually obtained the Trieste bathyscaphe, but it was quite large and not very maneuverable -- a better craft was needed.
