Det startede for 17 år siden da Smyril Line blev kontaktet af to forskere fra The National Science Foundation, der bad om at få tilladelse til at montere et såkaldt ADCP-værktøj fastgjort til bunden af Norrøna.

ADCP er en forkortelse for Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler, et værktøj der er i stand til at måle havstrømmene, ned til en dybde af 800 meter, ved hjælp af akustiske bølger.

Målet er at undersøge, hvor meget koldt havvand, der strømmer ud i Atlanterhavet fra de arktiske områder, og hvor meget varmt havvand, der strømmer nordpå ind i det arktiske område.

Målingerne foretaget om bord på Norrøna viser, at Golfstrømmen fortsat er stabil, men også at havtemperaturen er stigende, hvilket hurtigt kan ændre balancepunkterne, og få Golfstrømmen til at finde nye veje.
