Fall Expedition to Coastal Endurance Array
Every six months, the Coastal Endurance Array team heads offshore from the Oregon and Washington coasts to recover and redeploy its ocean observing network. This bi-annual maintenance of the array ensures continual collecting and sharing of critical ocean data. On September 21, 2023, a team of 14 scientists and engineers from Oregon State University (OSU)will board the R/V Atlantis in Astoria, Oregon to begin a 16-day expedition, conducted in three separate legs. OSU's Edward Dever is serving as Chief Scientist. Cruise duration: September 21-October 6, 2023. We will be sharing news about what’s happening aboard the Atlantis, so check back here regularly for updates.
