Chadwick2 1University of Washington, 1Oregon State University On July 29 at 23:24:52 UTC, a powerful magnitude 8.8 earthquake struck the Kamchatka Peninsula in Russia, unleashing seismic energy and a tsunami that surged across the Pacific Ocean. This extraordinary event was captured in remarkable detail by the NSF Ocean ...
- Call for Applications: OOIFB Data Systems Committee August 5, 2025The Data Systems Committee (DSC) of the Ocean Observatories Initiative Facility Board (OOIFB) was established to help ensure timely and reliable access to high-quality U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI) data. The Committee evaluates and recommends improvements to the data services, policies, and practices of the NSF OOI Facility that will lead ...
- SAR Imagery Detects Atmospheric Stratification August 1, 2025(Adapted from Stopa et al., 2024) There is interest in using satellite-based Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imagery to assess phenomena related to atmospheric boundary layer stratification over the ocean. Obtaining such information with high spatial and temporal resolution would advance boundary layer research and would be beneficial to the development of offshore wind energy. However, monitoring ...
- Gap-Filled Dissolved Oxygen Data from the Ocean Observatories Initiative Endurance Array Inshore Moorings August 1, 2025Brandy Cervantes contributed the dataset described below to Zenodo. This dataset now appears in the OOI Community Datasets under the OOI home page. The National Science Foundation Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI) collects continuous in-situ measurements of dissolved oxygen (DO) on the Endurance Array moorings in the inner shelf region of the Oregon and Washington coasts. Aanderaa ...
- Unprecedented Imaging of an Upwelling Event: RCA Slope Base Shallow Profiler Mooring August 1, 2025Co-registered instruments on the Slope Base Shallow Profiler Mooring, located 108 km offshore Newport, Oregon, yield unprecedented high resolution imagery of a possible short-lived upwelling event and resultant bloom, ~July 5-13, 2025. The above plots from live streaming data from sensors on the stationary platform interface assembly (PIA) located at ~ 200 m water depth ...
