This cruise involves the deployment of moorings and other instruments at the first global site of the OOI Station Papa location in the Gulf of Alaska. A team led by Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego, with their partners at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, is embarking on an approximately two-week cruise that started on July 15 to deploy this equipment. The cruise, on the Scripps/U.S. Navy Research Vessel (R/V) Melville will depart and return from the University of Washington dock in Seattle, WA. The team will deploy one Global Hybrid Profiler Mooring, two Mesoscale Flanking Moorings, and three Global Gliders. There will be a total of 57 instruments deployed.
Image Of the Day caption:
In July 2013, researchers aboard the research vessel Melville deployed a set of moorings at Station PAPA in the Northeast Pacific. The instruments, including this acoustic doppler current profiler (ADCP), form part of the first Global Scale Node of the Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI). This week, a team sails aboard R/V Knorr to place the first set of moorings in the Pioneer Array, a Coastal Scale Node centered on the continental shelf off the coast of the northeastern U.S. The goal of OOI is to provide comprehensive, long-term (and often real-time) measurements of physical, chemical, and biological ocean processes for researchers studying questions ranging from climate change to fisheries to seafloor tectonics.
