The research team searched for evidence of plumes around the Deepwater Horizon riser pipe using a technique called a "tow-yo," which oceanographers had perfected to search for plumes from hydrothermal vents of the seafloor. To tow-yo, researchers dangle a package of sensors into the ocean from a cable connected to a ship. The ship tows the cable horizontally while a winch alternately hoists the package up and lowers it down again like a yo-yo—in an effort to land the package within a plume. 2, record 1, English, - tow%2Dyo%20method
