An Innovative Approach to Design and Evaluate a Regional Coastal Ocean Observing System

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2019
Comprehensive and objective evaluation of all observing assets, tools, and services within an ocean observing system is essential to maximize effectiveness and efficiency; yet, it often eludes programs due to the complexity of such robust evaluation.

Mesoscale variability and water mass transport of the Caribbean Current revealed by high-resolution glider observations [PDF]

Ocean Science
The Caribbean Through-Flow (CTF) provides a key pathway linking the North Atlantic Subtropical Gyre and the upper limb of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation. Yet, its internal structure and variability remain poorly resolved.

Characterizing the Natural System: Toward Sustained, Integrated Coastal Ocean Acidification Observing Networks to Facilitate Resource Management and Decision Support [PDF]

Oceanography, 2015
Coastal ocean ecosystems have always served human populations—they provide food security, livelihoods, coastal protection, and defense. Ocean acidification is a global threat to these ecosystem services, particularly when other local and regional ...

Observations of Sargassum carbon influx and biogeochemical impact in La Parguera Marine Reserve

Frontiers in Marine Science
The massive influx of pelagic Sargassum spp. species, also known as Sargassum inundation events (SIEs), first arrived at the Caribbean’s coastal waters in 2011. These events have been linked to hypoxia, among other ecological disturbances.

Observations of Rogue Seas in the Southern Ocean [PDF]

Physical Review Letters
We report direct observations of surface waves from a stereo camera system along with concurrent measurements of wind speed during an expedition across the Southern Ocean in the austral winter aboard South African icebreaker S.A.~Agulhas~II. Records include water surface elevation across a range of wave conditions, spanning from early stages of wave ...

Weighing the ocean: Using a single mooring to measure changes in the mass of the ocean [PDF]

, 2012
Combining ocean and earth models, we show that there is a region in the central Pacific ocean where ocean bottom pressure is a direct measure of interannual changes in ocean mass, with a noise level for annual means below 3 mm water equivalent, and a ...

Stratified coastal ocean interactions with tropical cyclones

Nature Communications, 2016
Accurate forecasts of hurricane intensity remain problematic. Here, using an ocean observing network to inform ocean and atmospheric model simulations, the authors show that consideration of ahead-of-eye cooling improves intensity forecasts.

What We Have Learned From the Framework for Ocean Observing: Evolution of the Global Ocean Observing System

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2019
The Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) and its partners have worked together over the past decade to break down barriers between open-ocean and coastal observing, between scientific disciplines, and between operational and research institutions.

Estimating Argo Float Trajectories Under Ice

Earth and Space Science, 2022
Since the Argo program began, 568 floats returned almost 31,000 profiles, at high‐southern latitudes, with no measured position. These data are either disseminated with positions linearly interpolated between known positions, or with no geographic ...

The POSEIDON Ocean Observing System: Technological Development and Challenges

, 2022
Advanced marine observation infrastructures are the most significant scientific tool for the study of marine ecosystem trends and shifts. Ocean monitoring technologies, though highly demanding and expensive, are essential for the monitoring and long-term
