Ready for Mobilization
Three Pioneer MAB Coastal Surface Moorings, along with their Near Surface Instrument Frame (NSIF) and Multi-Function Node (MFN) and risers, operating and collecting test data…
New Sensors Added
Meghan Donohue and Mike Robinson complete the build of a Multi-Function Node (MFN) prior to transportation to the WHOI dock for loading. The MFN is…
Compass Calibration
Jennifer Batryn, Nikki Arm, Irene Duran, and Ellen Roosen perform a compass spin of an Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) to be deployed on Pioneer…
Mobilization Underway
The Endurance 20 team took advantage of the good weather to load most of what was needed for the first leg of the National Science…
New Shallow Water Mooring
Matt Latvis tests the buoy controller and telemetry tower for the new Shallow Water Mooring. The satellite telemetry system will send science data collected by…
Looking Up and Up
Alex Franks and Megan Donohue assemble the tower for the Pioneer MAB Central Surface Mooring. The buoy tower carries the meteorological instruments, satellite telemetry antennas…
Five Coastal Profiler Moorings Tested
John Lund and Mike Robinson monitor the testing of the Pioneer MAB Coastal Profiler Moorings (CPMs). The CPMs are assembled and then tested to verify…
Getting Wind Ready
Mike McCarthy prepares wind turbines for mounting on the Pioneer MAB surface moorings. Two wind turbines along with four solar panels provide renewable power to…
Coming Together!
Pioneer MAB array is coming together! Northern and Southern Coastal Surface Moorings, along with seabed multi-function nodes and near-surface instrument frames, being assembled. The team…
Bench Tests Continue
Sheri White and Nikki Arm prepare and bench test the new Imaging Flow CytoBot, also known as a Plankton Imaging System (PLIMS), that will be…
Heavy Winch Test
In preparation for the Endurance 20 expedition, the heavy winch to be used in recovery and deployment operations on the R/V Sikuliaq, is lifted in…
Pre-Deployment Testing
Pre-deployment testing of the Imaging Flow CytoBot (IFCB) to be deployed on the Central surface mooring of the Pioneer MAB Array. OOI team members Nikki…
Seabed Survey
The OOI-CGSN team surveyed the seabed to better understand the layout of the proposed moorings sites. The RV Neil Armstrong operated a hull-mounted acoustic equipment…
Big Eyes Along the Mid-Atlantic Coast
Large binoculars called “big eyes” are used to help marine mammal observers detect and identify distant sightings. Personnel from the NOAA National Marine Fisheries Service were…
Safe and Sound
Here the test Coastal Surface Mooring is safely on deck after ~8 months operating at the proposed Pioneer Mid-Atlantic Bight location. The mooring was deployed…
Surface Mooring Recovery
It may seem calm at the surface, but there’s a lot of action below…The OOI-CGSN team used the Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) to inspect the…
Sunrise at Sea
Chris Basque, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution deck lead, takes advantage of the calm seas and bright sunrise to survey the work area and plan the…
As Seen from Below
Everything looks good! The Remotely Operated Vehicle was deployed by the OOI-CGSN team to inspect the underwater components of the Shallow Water Mooring after deployment….
As Seen from the Air
And here’s what the successful deployment of OOI’s experimental surface mooring off Martha’s Vineyard looked like from the air.
