    Two researchers in cold-weather gear are working with a scientific buoy or monitoring station on a snow and ice-covered surface, likely in an Arctic or Antarctic environment. The yellow buoy-like housing contains instrumentation including a solar panel, weather sensors, and an anemometer. A separate equipment case is visible to the right, suggesting active deployment or maintenance of the monitoring system.

    ARCTIC OCEAN – Martin Doble (right) and Jeremy Wilkinson rotate a buoy Wednesday, Oct. 3, 2018, about 715 miles north of Barrow, Alaska, in the Arctic. Doble and Wilkinson are two of about 30 scientists and engineers aboard the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Healy (WAGB-20) in the Arctic deploying sensors and autonomous submarines to study stratified ocean dynamics and how environmental factors affect the water below the ice surface for the Office of Naval Research. The Healy, which is homeported in Seattle, is one of two ice breakers in U.S. service and is the only military ship dedicated to conducting research in the Arctic.
