Picture #015 in A Day in the Life of a Tomography Mooring

015 The tension of the mooring line is on the cage now. The hydrophone cable is to be carefully secured so that it safely crosses from the wire rope to the cage. When the cage goes over the side, these cables can take quite a beating. The hydrophone cable connection to the electronics package is in the foreground; the acoustic interrogator is 20' up the mooring line+hydrophone cable.
