PROJECTS

Meghan Cronin leads the Ocean Climate Stations project at NOAA PMEL. Ocean Climate Stations are moored buoys that carry a suite of sensors to monitor important climate processes. PMEL's Ocean Climate Stations are part of the global network of OceanSITES (http://www.oceansites.org) time series reference sites. The OCS project also makes air-sea interaction observations from other types of autonomous platforms such as Saildrone -- an Uncrewed Surface Vehicle. https://www.pmel.noaa.gov/OCS/.

Saildrone missions Tropical Pacific Observing System (TPOS) Pilot Study funded by NOAA GOMO and OMAO: Mission 1 (2017)-- 2 Saildrone were sent to the NASA SPURS2 study site at 125°W, 10°N to compare its measurements to shipbased and the WHOI buoy observations. After this intensive observational period, the SD proceeded to the equator, performing intercomparisons against NDBC TAO buoys. Mission 2 (2018) & 3 (2019)-- 4 drones were sent to 0°140°W and performed intercomparisons against moored buoys, frontal studies and convection surveys in the ITCZ. Uncrewed Surface Vehicles Integrated within the TPOS / USV as a Research and Operational Platform. TPOS Missions in 2021 -- 2 Saildrones to 0° 110°W; in 2022 -- 2 Saildrones to 0° 125°W; in 2023 -- 2 Saildrones with ASVCO2, one with EK80 one with ADCP to 0° 155°W. Funded by NOAA OMAO & NOAA NOPP. https://www.pmel.noaa.gov/OCS/saildrone
ARC, a surface mooring at 30°E, 38.5°S, equatorward of the Agulhas Return Current. Funded from a RAPID NSF grant. Deployed 30 Nov 2010, recovered Mar 2011. https://www.pmel.noaa.gov/OCS/ARC
Station Papa, a surface mooring at 145°W, 50°N for the North Pacific Carbon Cycle project, initially funded by NSF Carbon and Water in the Earth System to Drs. S. Emerson, P. Quay, and C. Erikson (all at UW), June 2007 - June 2009. Funded by NOAA OAR Global Ocean Monitoring and Observing (GOMO) Program, June 2009 - ongoing. https://www.pmel.noaa.gov/OCS/Papa/.
J-KEO, a KEO mooring north of the Kuroshio Extension at 146° 30'E, 37° 53'N, funded by JAMSTEC to Dr. Hiroshi Ichikawa (JAMSTEC), Phase 1: Feb 2007 - Feb 2008. https://www.jamstec.go.jp/iorgc/ocorp/ktsfg/data/jkeo/
KEO Kuroshio Extension Observatory, a time series reference site surface mooring at 144.5°E, 32.3°N, funded by NOAA OAR GOMO Program, June 2004 - ongoing. https://www.pmel.noaa.gov/OCS/KEO/
