- IFCB Webinar #2 Highlights: Lessons from Time/Moored-Based IFCB Observations August 19, 2026The second webinar in the Ocean Observatories Initiative Facility Board (OOIFB) four-part IFCB webinar series focused on time/moored-based Imaging FlowCytobot (IFCB) deployments and the challenges of operating IFCBs on sustained ocean observing platforms. The webinar speakers were Kylene Cooley, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI), who leads IFCB operations for the OOI Pioneer Mid-Atlantic Bight (MAB) Array, ...
- OOI Assets Available to Support Research August 17, 2026The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI) assets may be available for temporary loan to researchers when not required for OOI operations. The OOI Asset Loan Program helps maximize the use of NSF-funded ocean observing assets by making infrastructure, instruments, gliders, autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), and other assets ...
- 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 ...
