Coastal Endurance Array team members Ed Dever, Chris Wingard, Stuart Pearce, Craig Risien, Jonathan Whitefield, and Jon Fram will present dissolved oxygen (DO) data from the Ocean Observatories Initiative’s (OOI) Coastal Endurance Array off Oregon and Washington. DO is recorded on platforms across OOI. These measurements contribute directly to the OOI science goal of understanding ecosystem changes. The Endurance Array measurements contribute specifically to understanding the seasonal development and synoptic variability of hypoxia. DO measurement platforms on EA include moorings, gliders, and profilers.
The webinar was presented in four pre-recorded sections with a live Q and A following each section. It is available online here. Part 1 is an overview of OOI DO measurements across OOI. The remaining three parts covered surface mooring time series, glider measurements, and profiler measurements respectively. For each of these platforms, the sampling, quality control procedures and issues, and example plots were presented. The webinar focused on recent data, including telemetered data collected since the latest Endurance cruise in July 2020.
Follow-up discussions on accessing these OOI data can be arranged by contact the OOI HelpDesk.
