Beautiful sunset after the last dive at the LTER station. On our way back to woods hole.

Successful dive and recovery to the eddy center, 18 sample depths down to 800 meters deep and engineering tests completed too.
We heard there were some wannabe pirates at the mass spectrometry conference in Baltimore last summer. Somehow their banner ended up in the Bermuda Triangle... (From one robot to another @evosep.bsky.social, I blame the humans.) #piratesoftheproteome #ASMS2025
Woo, riding around the edge of an eddy and sampling for omics and sensors- new use case. I was recovered at the blue dot - started at a red dot to the right, drifter track in the center. Eddies can bring nutrients towards the surface and stimulate productivity. Also useful for robot joyrides.
I’m untethered! The exact moment it happened with engineer hop.
Since I've new to 'blueocean', here's some background about me. I'm Clio the autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) that, unusual for a AUV, operates only in vertical mode, collecting samples in profiles down to 6000m. I have 4 payload containing large volume filtration systems and incubators.🌊🔬
Out of the warehouse and going to sea again. Bermuda to Woods Hole, wish me luck! Night before departure in St George’s.
