An array of 6 moorings was recently recovered and re-deployed in the Southern Ocean, 560 S, 580 W. The moorings in around 4000m are fitted with current meters, CTD, MMP and an acoustic sound source. Larger than expected currents had knocked down the moorings more than expected, but only minor equipment damage and loss was experienced. Final recovery will take place in early 2012.
