Read More Irminger Sea Wind Speed Validation
The Irminger Sea in the North Atlantic is a stormy, windy place. Consequently, it is an area of interest for studying the flux balance of heat, momentum, and biogeochemically important gasses such as CO2. The Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI) deploys meteorological instruments in the Irminger Sea, as part of the OOI Global Irminger Sea Array, to collect in-situ observations in this relatively undersampled region. The goal is to deliver high-quality, long-term observations to the ocean science community to study these, and many more, questions of interest.
Validating these measurements is an important part of delivering quality data to the ocean science community. This summer, rising senior at California State University – Monterey Bay Aaron Wickware took on the challenge of validating OOI wind measurements in the Irminger Sea. Aaron was a Woods Hole Partnership in Education Program (PEP) scholar. PEP is a program designed primarily for college juniors and seniors from underrepresented groups who want to spend a summer gaining practical experience in marine and environmental science. The program consists of an accredited course in global climate change and a ten-week research project.
At Aaron’s disposal were six different sensors: a Gill Windobserver II two-axis sonic anemometer, R.M. Young Wind Monitor propeller-driven anemometer, and a Gill R3 three-axis sonic anemometer integrated into the direct flux covariance instrument (FDCHP) on the recently deployed Irminger Sea surface mooring; a Gill Windobserver II on the surface mooring to be recovered; and the two Vaisala sonic anemometers located on the ship’s mast. Aaron downloaded all the data, identified the overlapping time periods, calculated the wind speeds from the u-and-v-vector components, adjusted the speeds to a common-height using a community standard bulk flux algorithm (COARE 3.5), and took the 1-hour averages. His resulting comparison demonstrated that the two Gill two-axis sonic anemometers under-reported wind at speeds greater than 8 m/s. His workflow and analysis code are accessible on his GitHub page at https://github.com/Aaron-Wickware/ooicgsn-wind-validation.
Aaron’s results are part of a broader OOI Data Team investigation into the accuracy of buoy-based sonic anemometer wind measurements. This work is being followed up by similar sensor cross-comparisons at other mooring arrays. The results will be incorporated into a report to facilitate the use of data from the OOI-deployed buoy-based anemometers.

Read More Deep-Sea Biodiversity: VIAME and OOI JupyterHub Accelerate Research
Off the coast of Oregon, the Axial Seamount on the Juan de Fuca Ridge hosts the ASHES vent field, a site rich in hydrothermal activity and diverse marine life. Principal Investigators, Dax Soule and Karen Bemis, and their teams are leveraging footage from past expeditions, captured by the OOI CamHD video archive, to study species diversity and abundance in this extreme environment.
With hundreds of terabytes of video data available, manual analysis is impractical. To address this, master’s student Julia Sandke and a team of undergraduate researchers are utilizing VIAME (Video and Image Analytics for a Marine Environment), a tool that helps build machine learning datasets by automating the annotation and classification of vent organisms. The goal is to use these datasets to train models that can autonomously analyze species diversity and abundance.
The integration of VIAME’s directories into the OOI JupyterHub environment, along with the addition of Nvidia L40S GPUs, has been a pivotal advancement. Previously, the team faced long delays using the shared VIAME web interface. Now, with dedicated resources in JupyterHub and the enhanced power of GPUs, they can significantly speed up machine learning processes, such as video training and data analysis, which once took days to complete.
This new computational power allows the team to begin unlocking the wealth of data in the CamHD archive, delving deeper into the species diversity around these vents. The long-term goal of the project is to use computer vision and machine learning to develop models that can track species abundance and predict key changes in the ecosystem. For example, these models could forecast where target species may appear after volcanic eruptions at Axial Seamount, providing researchers crucial insights into the shifting biological landscape of hydrothermal vent environments.
