Coastal Endurance Array
Located in the Northeast Pacific Ocean off the coasts of Oregon and Washington, the Coastal Endurance Array is part of a regional observatory network that includes OOI, Station Papa, and Ocean Networks Canada. Measurements taken by this network collectively capture variability of ocean properties across a broad range of temporal and spatial scales. They allow examination of ocean health issues, including hypoxia, ocean acidification, and harmful algal blooms.
CTD Rosettes
An activity that happens on every Coastal Endurance cruise are CTD (Conductivity, Temperature, and Depth) casts. CTDs are used to collect water samples at the…

A Temporarily Clear Deck
At 8:30 this morning, the team began deploying the last of the three coastal surface moorings. Like the other deployments, this one was like a…
Rosette Recovered
The team was on deck as the sun came up to prepare a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) for a rescue mission. During an expedition earlier…
Another Mooring Dispatched
Today was a gift for early risers. The sun was bright, the weather comfortable. This was fortuitous, for the team was on the stern deck…
Cross-Shelf CTD Survey and Halloween
The waves and winds are still too intense to safely deploy a mooring today, so we are conducting a cross-shelf CTD survey from Pioneers’ Upstream…
Glider Day at Pioneer 17
Inclement weather has made us slightly adjust our schedule of what to put into the water each day. Today started off with a glider deployment….
Finally at Sea
The 14 members of the Pioneer 17 science party were all onboard the R/V Neil Armstrong at 9 am sharp on Friday 29 October. All…
