Carl Mattson (front) and Barry Nisly (back) deploy an ALACE (Autonomous Lagrangian Circulation Explorer) float during the Indian Ocean expedition. The float will drift through the ocean at a depth of 1000 meters, periodicially altering its buoyancy and rising to the surface where it transmits its position to scientists via satellite.
