- AMOC Heat Transport from Reanalyses August 13, 2026(Adapted from Winkelbauer et al., 2026) Oceanic heat transport is important for understanding the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), and ocean reanalysis models provide a means of evaluating transport variability and trends. A recent paper by Winkelbauer et al. (2026) evaluated the extent to which reanalyses reproduce transports estimated from observations. Their results show that the ...
- Effects of Dissolved Oxygen and Hypoxia on Catch Rates of Nearshore Groundfishes in a Recreational Hook and Line Fishery August 13, 2026Rasmuson et al. (2026) investigate the impact of hypoxic events on a nearshore, multispecies recreational groundfish fishery along the Oregon coast. Using dissolved oxygen (DO) data from the National Science Foundation’s Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI) Oregon Inshore Mooring (2018–2022, excluding 2020) and trip-level recreational fishery catch data from the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, ...
- Help Us Solve a Mystery of the Deep August 13, 2026We would like the community’s help in deciphering an unusual “blow down” event impacting environmental conditions near the flank of Axial Seamount (summit depth ~1500 m), located 300 miles offshore Oregon (Figure 1a). A blow down and its impacts were recorded by numerous instruments streaming data back to shore in real time from the Axial ...
- Open Call for Applications for the OOIFB Data Systems Committee August 10, 2026The 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 ...
- OOI Team Helps Capture Historic Shipwrecks in 3D July 31, 2026Almost any oceanographic expedition includes a group who disappear soon after departure to become “night stalkers.” These are the people who reverse their circadian rhythm, miss regular meals, and divorce themselves from the daytime pulse of activity to staff the night shift. They often develop a unique culture full of shorthand that only they fully ...
