Platform Description

The Coastal Endurance Washington Inshore Surface Mooring is located on the inner Continental Shelf, approximately 30 meters deep. The Continental Shelf-Slope area off the Washington coast is a highly productive, dynamic upwelling environment. Upwelling brings nutrients to the surface sparking primary production and fueling the food web. In recent years, upwelling has also brought onto the shelf hypoxic, low oxygen, waters that can be harmful to organisms in the area. By sampling in this area, the OOI seeks to gain better insight into upwelling dynamics of this system.

Like other coastal moorings, the Coastal Endurance Washington Inshore Surface Mooring is specifically designed to examine coastal-scale phenomena and withstand the challenging conditions of shallow coastal environments, including large tidal fluctuations. The Surface Mooring contains instruments attached to a Surface Buoy floating on the sea surface, Near Surface Instrument Frame 7 meters below the surface, and a Seafloor Multi-Function Node (MFN) located on the seafloor. The Surface Buoy provides a platform on which to secure surface instruments above the sea surface, below the sea surface, and across the interface between. Additionally the Surface Buoy contains an antenna to transmit data to shore via satellite.

An array of ~6 gliders travels along five east-west transect lines within the Coastal Endurance Array from approximately the 20-m isobaths to 126 W (and out to 128 W along the Oregon and Washington lines), as well as a north-south transect along 126 W.

Coastal Gliders (Teledyne-Webb Slocum Gliders) fly through the water column along saw-tooth paths, penetrating the sea surface and diving down to depth.  These Coastal Gliders are outfitted with one of two buoyancy engines allowing for maximum efficiency for either shallow (able to dive to 200 m) or deep (able to dive to 1000 m) dives.  A roughly even combination of deep and shallow diving coastal gliders have been deployed, sufficient to survey the Endurance Array area.

Gliders are buoyancy-driven mobile assets. They change their buoyancy by drawing in water through their nose making their front end heavy causing them to sink through the water. To float back up to the surface, they push the water out. Their wings provide lift allowing the gliders to move forward as they change depth. Due to their efficient design, with no need for propellers or an engine, gliders can be deployed for several months at a time.

The Coastal Endurance Oregon Offshore Surface Mooring is located on the Continental Slope, approximately 550 meters deep. The Continental Shelf-Slope area off the Oregon coast is a highly productive, dynamic upwelling environment.

As with other Cabled Shallow Profiler Moorings, this mooring is attached to a fiber-optic cable and contains a Shallow Profiler (SF01B), a 200m Platform (PC01B), and a Winch Controller (SC01B).  The Shallow Profiler houses scientific instrumentation and is tethered to a mooring-mounted winch that pays out line allowing the profiler to rises through the water column until fixed depth (20 m to 200 m below sea surface).  Instruments are also housed within the 200m Platform.  The fiber-optic cable provides the mooring with a large supply of power and bandwidth and is co-located with a Benthic Experiment Package, that collects complementary seafloor data.

The Global Irminger Sea Apex Profiler Mooring is co-located with Apex Surface Mooring. Additionally, at the Irminger Sea site are two identical Flanking Subsurface that make up the equidistant sides of a triangle of Moorings (20 km) from the co-located Profiler and Surface Moorings.

The triangular configuration moorings provide unique spatial array through which instruments fixed to moorings continuously collect data through time and gliders sample the area between the moorings. The Irminger Sea site is one of four high latitude open ocean locations in the OOI that provide observations to gain better insight into global ocean circulation and climate.

The Irminger Sea Apex Profiler Mooring contains one Wire-Following Profiler that houses instrumentation. The Wire-Following Profiler moves through the water column along the mooring riser, continuously sampling ocean characteristics at a high vertical resolution over a specified depth interval (240-2,400 meters).

The Global Argentine Basin array has two identical Flanking Moorings that make up the equidistant sides of a triangle of Moorings (62 km) from the co-located Profiler and Surface Moorings.  They are located in 5,200 meters of water along the Brazil Current in the South Atlantic.

The flotation buoy for these subsurface moorings is located 30 meters below the sea surface. As they have no surface expression, these moorings communicate and send data to shore via an acoustic link to nearby gliders.
