Now , they ’re making the treacherous journey to draw out them up to see what they can instruct us about the clime crisis . The scientists deposited the devices in August 2019 on ocean trip call the Coordinated Arctic Acoustic Thermometry Experiment . Since then , the instruments have been recording sounds from under the water , as well as other oceanographic datum like temperatures , carbon engrossment , and salinity ....
