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:
Researchers monitor the deployment of a SeaCycler, part of a Global Subsurface Hybrid Profiler Mooring installed at Station Papa in the Northeast Pacific in the summer of 2013. The SeaCycler is a winch that will lie horizontally in the water at a depth of about 150 meters. It will move the profiler, which carries instruments to measure current and other water conditions, up and down in the water to within a few meters of the surface. The mooring is part of the Ocean Observatories Initiative, a multi-institution effort to measure ocean conditions at key sites around the world.
