The Ship Observations Team's work spans every ocean basin and hundreds of ports around the world. This gallery captures the people, vessels, instruments, and moments that make up this global effort — from PMOs calibrating barometers on a bridge wing in Hamburg, to weather balloon launches in the middle of the North Atlantic, to XBT deployments in the Coral Sea.
