A new era of oceanography

  1. OOI achieves milestone with Irminger Sea deployment

    The recently completed OOI mooring service cruise on the R/V Neil Armstrong (2-25 Aug 2019) established a significant milestone – the Irminger Sea Global Surface Mooring was sustained for over a year and returned high quality data. To our knowledge, this is the first surface mooring with instrumentation to compute bulk air-sea fluxes of heat, […]

  2. Regional Cabled Array 2019 Expedition Sets Records

    This summer’s Regional Cabled Array (RCA) 44-day expedition (May 30-July 12, 2019) onboard the R/V Atlantis was highly successful with the completion of all tasks scheduled for this annual maintenance and operations cruise. One hundred forty-nine out of 151 RCA Core and PI instruments are operational, all three instrumented Deep Profiler vehicles and instrumented Science […]

  3. OOI moorings provide sustained observations of the Irminger Sea Deep Western Boundary Current

    Data from the Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI) Global Irminger Sea Array contributed to the longest continuous record of total volume transport of water in the Deep Western Boundary Current. This current, in the subpolar North Atlantic, travels southwest along the continental slope off of Greenland and is considered a significant part of the global climate […]

  4. NSF Science in the Deep with ROV Jason

      NOTE: Video of this event available here. Fast forward to about 52:00 to get past the distorted audio. The National Science Foundation will host “Science in the Deep,” a Facebook Live event with researchers aboard R/V Atlantis on Wednesday, June 26, from 1:00-2:00 p.m. Eastern. The Atlantis team will be off the coast of […]

  5. Streaming Live From the Deep: The 2019 OOI Regional Cabled Array expedition

    This summer’s exciting sea-going expedition in the Northeast Pacific to maintain the National Science Foundation’s Ocean Observatories Initiative Regional Cabled Observatory is underway, and you can join us at InteractiveOceans. Over the next several weeks, the University of Washington Cabled Array team will be adding novel sensors that allow a global audience to watch live […]
