A U.S. Coast Guard member is preparing to launch an Expendable Bathythermograph (XBT) to help calculate the speed of sound in the ocean. The launcher sends a probe into the water to measure depth and temperature variation below the ship. There is a copper wire attached to both the launcher and the probe.

Helicopter view of Canadian Coast Guard Ship Louis S. St. Laurent (top) and U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Healy (bottom) on the Arctic Ocean. The ships are coming together because the crews are planning to meet and learn the operations of the other ship. This was during a scientific expedition to map the Arctic seafloor.
