Want a behind the scenes look at the @Eir_OOS recovery and deployments? Read our team member Christine's blog post for @RVMarineInst Scientists at Sea about the infrastructure operations on the @MarineInst Ocean Climate Service Survey #CE25007
We packed in so many activities at sea that we've had to break up our Scientists at Sea blog into 3 parts!! Here's part 2 all about the @Eir_OOS infrastructure recovery/redeployments during the #CE25007 cruise.

New Vs. Old The M6 #IMDBON @MarineInst data buoy was successfully swapped out on the #CE25007 survey. This buoy will be out for 1 year providing essential data for @MetEireann along with 3 subsurface CTD microCATs to 750m depth for #oceanops

We’re enjoying the rare days of sunshine on deck during the #CE25007 survey and gave a short intro to @MarineInst M6 #IMDBON buoy to 3 students on board. Doreen will use data from M6 & South Rockall Mooring for her MSc project Zdenek, our technician, shows them the CTD in hull.

📰New research undertaken by @uniofgalway using the Irish National Tide Gauge #INTGN at @portofgalway operated by @MarineInst and 2 of @opwireland gauges in the west of Ireland. Studies like this show the importance this data provides for predictions of future storm impacts.
A research team at University of Galway has revealed that Storm Éowyn generated the highest storm surges ever recorded at key locations on Ireland’s western seaboard. @STEM_Galway Read more: https://t.co/AM7uwdVoKO
