The 36-bottle CTD (conductivity, temperature, and depth instrument) rosette is ready for deployment. The tops of the Niskin bottles are open and the same mechanism is also on the bottom of each bottle so water flows through when the CTD is being lowered and raised. When a desired depth is reached, a remote signal from the control room triggers the end caps to close on demand, securing a water sample for study. Dutch Harbor, Alaska.
