The OOI is a long-term, NSF-funded program to provide up to 30 years of sustained ocean measurements.
Joined May 2010
OOI and 3newable tested a wave energy converter and UV illuminator at the Coastal Endurance Array. The WEC supplied steady sensor power, and the UV system reduced biofouling - showing potential for more resilient, lower-maintenance ocean observing. ๐: https://t.co/v2dYh34lvh

Pioneer 22 wrapped up successfully, with the team back to Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI). After recoveries, deployments, and sampling across the shelf break, the ship even had a dolphin escort on the way home. Kudos to the CGSN team for their hard work.

The team deployed and recovered the Northern Profiler Mooring (NOPM) during Pioneer 22 - key work that keeps high-resolution water-column data flowing from the OOI Pioneer Array. See more on the blog: https://t.co/aZR2Qjkhqf

Why turn the OOI Pioneer Array every six months? To stay ahead of biofouling, which can degrade sensor performance over time. Regular swaps keep data quality high and operations running smoothly. ๐ More: https://t.co/aZR2Qjkhqf

The Shallow Water Mooring at the Pioneer Array samples the upper ocean (20โ30 m depth) using a Prawler profiler powered by the motion of the buoy. It measures salinity, temperature, oxygen, & more, sending data to shore in near-real time. ๐ Read more: https://t.co/aZR2Qjkhqf
