The <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/oceanobservatories.org\/array\/global-station-papa-array\/\">Global Station Papa Array <\/a><\/strong>is located in the Gulf of Alaska, about 620 nautical miles offshore. The ship will depart from and return to Seward, Alaska, with a transit time to the array of about 2.5 days. The Array is located in a critical region of the northeast Pacific with a productive fishery subject to ocean acidification, low eddy variability, and impacted by the Pacific Decadal Oscillation. Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution&#8217;s Kris Newhall is serving as Chief Scientist. <em>Check back here for regular updates.<\/em><\/p>\r\n<p><em>.<\/em><\/p>\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www2.whoi.edu\/site\/ooi-expedition\/location\/#stationpapa10\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\"> <img loading=\"lazy\" title=\"CEV-OOI-GlobalStationPAPA-scaled-2\" src=\"https:\/\/www2.whoi.edu\/site\/ooi-expedition\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/143\/2022\/04\/CEV-OOI-GlobalStationPAPA-scaled-2.jpeg\" alt=\"CEV-OOI-GlobalStationPAPA-scaled-2\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1440\" \/> <\/a><\/p>\r\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www2.whoi.edu\/site\/ooi-expedition\/location\/#station-papa-10\/\">Location<\/a><\/h3>\r\n<p>The Global Station Papa Array is located in the Gulf of Alaska.
