Ocean Observing Tech Enhances Climate Education in the Cook Islands

Through the SEREAD educational program, Argo’s mission to help understand the ocean’s role in the earth’s climate is shared across generations.
On the island of Mangaia of the Cook Islands in the south Pacific, the local community is highly concerned about the current and future impacts of climate change. The island of Mangaia is the second largest in size among the Cook Islands and formed roughly 18 million years ago, making it one of the oldest islands in the Pacific. It is threatened by sea level rise, cyclones, and increasing salinity of the underground water. Among the approaches Mangaia is taking to increase resilience to climate change, education is a high priority.
At the invitation of the Principal Michael Papatua of the Mangaia School, Keith Hartle and Carol Young are collaborating with local teachers to provide climate education curricula for students aged 10-18 years old. Keith is a retired teacher from Dargaville High School, New Zealand and Carol is a retired teacher and advisor from University of Auckland, New Zealand. Together, they form the core educational team for SEREAD, a program that develops regionally-relevant ocean science educational modules. During recent trips to Mangaia they have created resource materials and conducted teacher training workshops.
SEREAD resources help to teach science in a hands-on approach using examples that build on Pacific students’ everyday observations and experiences. SEREAD, which stands for
Scientific Educational Resources and Experience Associated with the Deployment of Argo profiling floats in the South Pacific Ocean
, has developed educational units that use scientific data collected by a modern ocean observing technology known as Argo.
Argo floats
are robotic instruments that drift with ocean currents and move up and down between the surface and seafloor, collecting data on the characteristics of the ocean like seawater temperature and salinity. By connecting with students through SEREAD, Argo’s mission to help understand the ocean’s role in earth’s climate is shared across generations.

During the last trip to Mangaia, Carol and Keith noted “All the teachers are aware of the changes happening on Mangaia, and their Principal wants climate change to be a unifying theme through the students’ learning”. Beyond the sciences, there has been discussion and interest from local teachers to integrate the program into social studies, math, and English. The reach of SEREAD also has the potential to expand geographically, with an interest from the teachers to bring the curricula to outer island schools- specifically Atiu, Mauke and possibly Mitiaro.
The committed efforts of SEREAD’s educators, Carol and Keith, and the Ministries of Education, teachers and principals that engage with the Program has resulted in the implementation of new climate-focused education modules across the Pacific. SEREAD has held teacher training workshops in the Cook Islands, Tuvalu, Kiribati, New Zealand, Mauritius, Pohnpei, Samoa, Hawaiʻi, and Tonga since its inception in 2004. Support from
NOAA’s Global Ocean Monitoring and Observing Program
helps to pay for the cost of travel and compensation for the SEREAD educators.
Understanding the full extent of causes and impacts of climate change is a challenging puzzle for all of humanity, including scientists, politicians, economists, teachers, and parents alike. Providing students with the tools to observe, recognize, and discuss these changes is key to empowering the next generation of climate-aware leaders.

Scientists Team with Commercial Shipping Industry to Collect Ocean Observations in the Caribbean Sea

Five autonomous profiling floats were deployed from a commercial vessel into the depths of the Caribbean Sea to improve ocean and hurricane research.
Captain Vassili Pugatsov and the crew of the
M/V
Bulk Xaymaca
, in cooperation with the
Argo Float Group
at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, deployed these ocean observing instruments, known as Argo floats, in early August during a southbound transit from Louisiana to Jamaica. The floats will add to the
global Argo array
and enhance key ocean measurements in a region critical for accurate hurricane forecasting. The M/V
Bulk Xaymaca
is a 225-meter-long dry bulk carrier owned by
Pangaea Logistics Solutions
and operated by
Seamar Management S.A.

Argo floats are one of the key tools scientists use to collect ocean information, particularly in remote areas.
Argo floats
are robotic and dive 2,000 meters, or 1.2 miles below the sea surface, capturing temperature, pressure and salinity data that is transmitted to satellites upon their return to the surface every 10 days. In each of these cycles, a profile snapshot of ocean conditions is collected and made available to researchers globally within hours. Ocean observations and data collected from the Argo array are routinely used in climate reports such as the
IPCC
and serve as one of the foundational methods for measuring ocean heat.

The floats deployed on this cruise have one big difference: they are cycling every five days instead of 10, capturing double the data in order to collect more timely information for forecasters during hurricane season. These ‘fast cycling’ floats were deployed as part of
Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
’s contribution to a larger field experiment this 2023 hurricane season sponsored by the
Extreme Events Program
in NOAA’s
Global Ocean Monitoring and Observing Program
. The goal of this field research is to improve scientists’ understanding of the role of the ocean, waves, and air-sea interactions in the development and intensification of hurricanes in order to produce more accurate and reliable models and forecasts.
These deployments were possible due to a new initiative called Science Research on Commercial Ships (
Science RoCS
) where research institutions and industry are joining forces to gather consistent and repeated scientific observations of the ocean and atmosphere. Partnering with Science RoCS has the added benefit of increasing the spatial coverage of the Argo array. The Yucatan Basin has historically been undersampled by Argo floats, creating a ‘hole’ in our coverage of subsurface ocean temperature data. Deploying these five new floats will bolster the fleet and provide coverage for many coming years.
This is the second collaboration between the Argo Program and Science RoCS;
the first
was in 2021 from a Wallenius Wilhelmsen container ship crossing the North Atlantic. The Argo Program aims to maintain an array of 4,000 floats globally. Teaming up with commercial vessels  helps maintain and increase global coverage by providing deployment opportunities in hard-to-reach places, such as in the Indian Ocean and Southern Hemisphere. Through the
Global Ocean Monitoring and Observing Program
, NOAA contributes to the U.S. and international Argo Program. This mission was coordinated by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, one of
NOAA’s Argo partners
.

Stratus Mooring Celebrates 22 Years of Observations, Provides Critical Data on El Niño-La Niña Conditions and Ocean Heat

On February 28, 2023, a team of oceanographers from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (
WHOI
)
Upper Ocean Processes Group
made the 21st replacement of the
Stratus mooring
. Since the mooring was initially deployed in October 2000, this achievement marks over 22 years of Stratus observations, making it one of the longest continuously occupied surface mooring locations in the world.
A research paper led by WHOI scientist Bob Weller was recently highlighted in the
April 2023 issue
of the
Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society
(
BAMS
) emphasizing the unique value of data collected from Stratus and two other moorings, including the WHOI Hawaii Ocean Time series Station (
WHOTS
) and the Northwest Tropical Atlantic Station (
NTAS
). This
study
revealed that
global climate models significantly underpredict the amount of heat going into the ocean in trade-wind regions.
Cover of the April 2023 issue of the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society (BAMS).
OceanSITES like Stratus provide high-quality data from fixed-point locations to help us monitor our ocean and climate.
The Stratus mooring is an
OceanSITES reference station
supported by the Global Ocean Monitoring and Observing Program (GOMO) that collects data on a variety of ocean and atmospheric variables to measure air-sea fluxes, including temperature, salinity, current and wind velocity, barometric pressure, radiation, and more.
OceanSITES
form an essential component of the
Global Ocean Observing System
by providing high-quality, high-frequency time-series data from important or representative fixed-point locations in the open ocean. These data are often transmitted in near real-time via satellites or radio telemetry to be immediately used by researchers. OceanSITES are critical to document the changes happening in our oceans and atmosphere. Data from the Stratus mooring has also been instrumental in detecting climate variability driven by the El Niño Southern Oscillation (
ENSO
), which causes a range of extreme weather phenomena globally.
OceanSITES data are used to verify climate models, and Stratus is revealing greater than predicted flux of heat into the ocean.
Stratus is strategically located in a data-sparse, persistently cloudy region of the eastern tropical Pacific
off the coast of northern Chile where the ocean depth is 4,230 meters, or more than 2.6 miles. This ocean reference station is named after the persistent
stratus clouds
found west of Chile and Peru, which affect the ocean and atmospheric conditions in this region.
Data from Stratus and other ocean reference stations are not incorporated into global climate models, but instead serve as an external check to validate and improve climate predictions. In the
study
led by Bob Weller, ocean heat flux data collected from the moorings was greater than predicted in global climate models.
The ocean is a major heat sink, storing as much as
90% of heat
from global warming over the last 50 years. Accurately measuring how much heat goes into the ocean is critical for predicting global climate and warming trends, which are used to determine targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The heat stored in the upper ocean also plays a major role in fueling tropical storms that threaten island nations and coastal residents, so assessing ocean heat flux is important for disaster preparedness and mitigation worldwide.
Map showing the existing network of OceanSITES reference stations (black squares) monitoring air-sea interactions and surface heat flux (colorscale) (Cronin et al., 2019). The Stratus mooring is located in the eastern tropical Pacific off the coast of Chile in a region with high ocean heat-flux that is not well represented by climate models.
Maintaining OceanSITES stations is hard work and requires international collaboration.
The 21st replacement of Stratus is no small feat and the hard work that goes into maintaining these OceanSITES stations is surely something to be celebrated. Mooring replacements typically require weeks-long cruises every 12 months, often to remote locations and in difficult conditions. The scientists and crewmembers must be highly trained and work to ensure the mooring’s instruments are safely and accurately positioned in order to maintain the continuity of data from the site. Maintaining OceanSITES stations takes dedicated support, as well as collaboration and coordination across governmental, scientific, and international partners. The long-term data records available from OceanSITES are possible because of the commitment of GOMO to continually fund and support these stations, as well as of the researchers and engineers that help to maintain the moorings. Since 2015, the Stratus replacements have been achieved with the help of the Chilean Navy (Armada de Chile) and the Servicio Hidrográfico y Oceanográfico (SHOA), a Chilean agency similar to NOAA.
Sustaining OceanSITES and the long-term data they provide is crucial to understanding our changing ocean and climate.
Although the oceans make up 70% of our Earth, there are presently fewer than 300 OceanSITES stations, only about 20 of which are suited to study ocean-atmosphere interactions. GOMO supports several OceanSITES stations in collaboration with the
WHOI Upper Ocean Processes Group
and NOAA’s Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (
PMEL
), including
Stratus
,
WHOTS
,
Station Papa
, and
KEO
(previously also
NTAS
before it was recovered in October 2022). Yet, sustaining the OceanSITES network is not without challenges. The COVID-19 pandemic put an
additional strain
on our ability to sustain these long-term ocean observation systems due to restrictions on travel and increasing the cost of equipment, supplies, and shipping. These challenges caused a year-long delay in the
19th Stratus replacement
, which occurred in 2021 after being rescheduled twice.
Despite these challenges, research continues to show that ocean reference stations are essential benchmarks that can identify gaps in ocean data, improve global climate models and ultimately help us reach climate targets around the world.

April 2023 issue of

received a welcome visit from the U.S. Ambassador to Iceland, Carrin F. Patman, in Reykjavik this May. During the visit, Ambassador Patman embarked on a tour of the ship led by Captain Marc Moser, Commander Aaron Maggied, Chief Scientist Leticia Barbero, and senior officers.
Chief Scientist Barbero shared with Ambassador Patman the critical role that this research cruise has played in tracking changes in heat, freshwater, carbon, oxygen, nutrients, and other crucial metrics in the Atlantic Ocean over the past 30 years. The GO-SHIP A16N is part of a larger international project known as the Global Ocean Ship-based Hydrographic Investigations Program (
GO-SHIP
), which makes repeat ocean observations at decadal intervals through
a global network of cruise tracks
and is supported by the Global Ocean Monitoring and Observing Program.
In collaboration with NOAA Research’s
International Activities
team, Barbero shared an overview of NOAA’s activities in Icelandic waters, including the
Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory’s
years-long collaboration with Icelandic cargo ship company Eimskip.
In response to the visit, the U.S. Embassy shared the following, “The scientific research conducted by the R/V Ronald H. Brown in Icelandic waters holds immense significance for the United States. It not only deepens our bilateral scientific research relationship with Iceland but also aligns with our shared priorities in marine research. We are proud to support this valuable mission and the dedication of the crew and scientists involved. Their efforts are instrumental in advancing our knowledge of the ocean’s dynamics and its role in shaping our environment.”
At the end of the visit, as a token of appreciation from the captain, crew, and scientists aboard the vessel, Captain Moser and Commander Maggied presented Ambassador Patman (a Texan) with a cowboy hard hat and kolaches baked by the galley.

Crossing the Equator and Navigating Icebergs: The A13.5 GO-SHIP cruise Returns After 52 Days At Sea
Allison Lepp
May 2, 2024
News
This is a repost of NOAA AOML’s
original story
published April 22, 2024.
Wind, waves, and icebergs pierced through morning fog – the A13.5 GO-SHIP cruise proved both tumultuous and rewarding with vast amounts of new data that bring the promise of groundbreaking future research.

.
After 52 days at sea, the A13.5 GO-SHIP cruise (short for “Global Ocean Ship-based Hydrographical Investigations Program”) returned to Cape Town, South Africa on March 23rd, successfully completing the voyage across the Equator and into the South Atlantic. Heading south from Cabo Verde on February 1st, the international team of researchers spent weeks collecting data essential for investigating global changes in ocean physics and chemistry – most notably, the uptake of atmospheric carbon under a changing climate.

R/V Marcus Langseth
, scientists at NOAA’s
Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory
,
Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory
, the
Cooperative Institute for Marine and Atmospheric Sciences
, and the
Cooperative Institute for Climate, Ocean, and Ecosystem Studies
were among the crew leading efforts to analyze water samples collected from the surface to the seafloor, thousands of meters below.

A13.5 is a transect extending from the coast of Ghana to Bouvet Island at the Southern end of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, one of 58 transects across the globe designed by the international
GO-SHIP
program.  This was the first time the A13.5 transect has been successfully occupied since 2010, as the pandemic delayed attempts in 2020 and 2022. Approximately every ten years, GO-SHIP transects are “re-occupied” to collect key measurements, including salinity, temperature, dissolved inorganic carbon, and the partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO
2
) – and now
Environmental DNA
(eDNA) – from samples throughout the water column to examine long-term changes in ocean properties. However, as the scientists and crew neared the Southern Ocean in the final weeks, they met an unexpected surprise – icebergs.
With sheer masses of ice floating through dense fog and smaller pieces hiding below the surface, the crew carefully navigated the frigid seas down to a latitude of 52 °S, collecting measurements down to the seafloor using the
CTD Rosette
. A human-sized instrument, the CTD (“Conductivity, Temperature, Depth”) has a suite of sensors designed to measure physical properties and also collects seawater in 12-L “Niskin” bottles at 24 predetermined depths throughout the water column. While the sensor data profiles are processed immediately after each station, the seawater samples are analyzed once the CTD returns to the surface – up to four hours later. Scientists onboard deploy the CTD at a series of marked coordinates (i.e. “stations”) along the cruise track. The A13.5 cruise consisted of 113 stations.
“A typical 12-hour day on a research cruise consists of collecting and analyzing samples from depths ranging from near surface to 6,000 meters deep.”
-Chuck Featherstone, Scientist at AOML

Adding to decades of data monitoring fluctuations in the ocean’s uptake of heat, carbon, dissolved oxygen, and other elements across the globe, this cruise marks the first time measurements of environmental DNA have been collected along this transect. Environmental DNA (eDNA) is the DNA of whole or partial marine organisms or their traces sloughed off in the open ocean. As part of the emerging
Bio-GO-SHIP
initiative, measuring eDNA provides key insights to the biodiversity and ecosystem impact of plankton communities – specifically here, the south Atlantic. By measuring eDNA for the first time, scientists are establishing a baseline to better understand how climate change will impact marine organisms in the future.
In addition to this ship-based sampling, an array of autonomous oceanographic instruments, including 11
Biogeochemical-Argo floats
, four Core Argo floats, one Deep Argo float, seven Electromagnetic Autonomous Profiling Explorer (EM-APEX) floats, and 18
surface drifters
were deployed along the cruise track. These instruments collect crucial chemical and physical ocean measurements as they drift with large ocean currents for months on end. This near-continuous ocean monitoring provides additional data, filling in the data gaps between the decadal GO-SHIP cruises, that will continue to advance global research in ocean chemistry and physics.

“Being a part of all three A13.5 attempts, I am happy to have been a part of the team to successfully complete the cruise. Carrying out a GO-SHIP level survey is not without its challenges, however, all participants involved overcame these difficulties and acquired data we have been chasing for the last four years.”
– Ian Smith, a CIMAS Research Associate onboard the A13.5 cruise.
The GO-SHIP program has collected millions of data for more than a decade, and this research is becoming increasingly important as we observe climate extremes. GO-SHIP observations are essential to study the
Atlantic overturning of mass, heat, and freshwater transports
. One recent study stemming from thirty years of data collected on GO-SHIP and other repeat hydrographic cruises revealed a potential weakening of the
ocean’s ability to store carbon
as global emissions continue to rise.
While emphasizing the need to reduce carbon emissions in order to meet the goals of the
Paris Agreement
, this study only underscores the crucial role GO-SHIP cruises continue to play in monitoring the global ocean.  Congratulations to the science team and crew on a successful voyage!
The A13.5 GO-SHIP cruise was funded by the
NOAA Global Ocean Monitoring and Observing
program and the
U.S. National Science Foundation

GOMO releases inaugural Accomplishments Report for 2023
Jessica Mkitarian
April 18, 2024
News
NOAA’s Global Ocean Monitoring and Observing Program (GOMO) has released its inaugural
Accomplishments Report for 2023
. This report covers the many accomplishments that are paving the way toward meeting GOMO’s
2021-2025 Strategic Plan
objectives and strengthening the global ocean observing system and enterprise. Below is an excerpt from the Director’s Letter in the report:
“Throughout 2023, our community worked diligently to advance many of NOAA’s missions, including improving our understanding of ocean processes and enabling authoritative monitoring of global and regional changes in multiple Essential Ocean Variables (EOVs) such as ocean temperature, currents, and ocean salinity. For the first time, GOMO led a focused field experiment, CHAOS, to more systematically assess the impact of ocean and atmospheric observations on hurricane forecasting. GOMO’s global leadership of ocean carbon observing continues to provide the foundation of existing products and knowledge. We are capitalizing on new applications of AI technologies and observing new types of ocean information (e.g., eDNA, phytoplankton). Finally, GOMO’s leadership in capacity building has blossomed to include support of dozens of early career research professionals and indigenous community members.”
– David M Legler, GOMO Director
We are pleased to share our program’s first
Accomplishments Report
with our community. Thank you to the GOMO community, our partners across NOAA and other federal agencies, OAR Laboratories, Cooperative Institutes, research institutions, and our other collaborators from the national and international ocean observing community!
Special thanks to GOMO’s 2023 Knauss Fellow Jesse Gwinn for her leadership and efforts developing this first ever GOMO Accomplishments Report!

Arctic Argo
Deploying a float without stopping the ship requires special boxes to protect the floats. Here cross braces are assembled to protect the antenna on the RV Melville (photo by Capt. Maury)
Principal Investigator(s):
Stephen Jayne
Project Institution(s):
Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
Fiscal Year:
2024
Award Period:
05/01/2024 - 04/30/2027
This project received funding from the following:
Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act)
Multiple hazards associated with sea ice have deterred the Argo program from expanding instrument deployments into seasonally ice-covered regions. This project will advance sea ice detection autonomy in Argo floatation devices, allowing floats to operate efficiently without depleting battery life or risking damage from ice, thereby extending their deployment duration. Advancements include the implementation of passive acoustic tracking systems for subsurface geolocation and improved obstacle detection systems to prevent floats from being struck by ice floes. Data collected by the Argo floats in this project will include subsurface temperatures, salinity structures, circulation, and biogeochemical processes of the Arctic Ocean.
Milestones
Year 1:
Initial updates were made to the ice avoidance algorithms in the Argo floats used for this project. Testing began in a 10-meter tall tank at WHOI and later transitioned to field trials in the Beaufort Sea, north of Alaska.
Year 2:
Floats deployed with LPD receivers were deployed. Additional updates to the ice detection algorithm were implemented based on the previous year’s deployment results.
Year 3:
Deployment of LPD-equipped BGC floats with oxygen and downwelling radiation sensors will commence. Continued refinements to ice avoidance autonomy based on results from the previous year’s deployments will be implemented.

Award Period:
08/01/2024 - 07/01/2027
Collaborator:
Jia Wang
This project received funding from the following:
Inflation Reduction Act
This project will enhance short-term forecasting of Alaska’s coastal sea ice through advanced modeling and iterative engagements of local communities and partners in Alaska. The existing prediction tool based on a state-of-art sea ice model will be further refined to use higher spatial resolution (1.5km) and incorporate impacts from tides. This project will collaborate with Alaskan Communities to build co-design partnerships, conduct interviews, workshops, and/or surveys to better understand user needs and usability of the prediction tool, and better understand how sea ice coverage impacts Alaskan communities that depend on sea ice for hunting activities and transportation. These engagement activities are repeated every year in parallel with the modeling research, and will encourage the co-design process of a sea ice prediction tool for the region.
Annual Goals:
2025:
Refine a grid to use higher resolution (1.5 km) for better representation of coastal sea ice processes, examine various forcing datasets for atmosphere and ocean, and assess tidal impacts on the stability of landfast ice cover.
2026:
Calibration and verification of the standalone CICE6 and implement the model as the short-term nowcast/forecast sea ice prediction model (as part of GCAS) will be completed.
2027:
The model predictions and their visualizations will be evaluated collaboratively with the end user groups to solicit feedback and iterative updates to the user interface.

Enabling Discovery for Climate Resilience: A Registry of Polar Observing Networks
Principal Investigator(s):
William Manley
Halldór Jóhannsson
Jan Rene Larsen
Project Institution(s):
University of Colorado Boulder, Arctic Portal, and AMAP
Fiscal Year:
2024
Award Period:
10/01/2024 - 09/30/2026
This project received funding from the following:
Inflation Reduction Act
This project will integrate polar climate and environmental data with a catalog of systems that conduct or coordinate observation and monitoring in the Arctic and Antarctic. The
Registry of Polar Observing Networks
(
RoPON
) at
https://polarobservingregistry.org/
will
advance beyond a proof of concept to make structured information about networks, data, and observing assets more findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable. Also, a prototype Polar Observing Site Discovery tool will aggregate metadata for thousands
of facilities, observatories, supersites, buoys, moorings, and community-based observations.
Project Goals:
Develop innovative resources that help to link the summed contributions of multiple systems.
Advance through an iterative process with outreach, community engagement, collaboration, metadata curation, and web usability testing.
Help to: co-locate and optimize limited resources; improve data and metadata discovery; avoid duplicated effort; guide assessment & planning; and inform local communities.
Layout for a fully implemented Registry of Polar Observing Networks (RoPON)

OceanHackWeek is a collaborative learning experience, which aims to strengthen data and software proficiency in ocean scientists and facilitate community building. To achieve these objectives, OceanHackWeek (OHW) hosts 5-day collaborative workshops. These workshops are a combination of tutorials and collaborative project work, focusing on providing participants with computational and data science skills that can advance marine science research. OHW focuses on teaching tools and skills, including how to access, integrate and manipulate diverse datasets, how to visualize complex data, how to collaborate on computational projects via GitHub, and how to enable open science. This initiative encourages participants to continue the collaborations beyond the end of the workshop, as well as bring the skills gained and the sense of community back to their own labs and institutions.
OceanHackWeek fills this gap: we support participants to grow the computational skills they need to advance their research.
