Two teams led by APL-UW engineers are developing low-cost, air-deployable profiling floats that could be dropped in large numbers to achieve sufficient density to study small-scale, upper ocean dynamics. Read the NOPP release.

Blogging from the equatorial Pacific Ocean, researchers aboard R/V Sikuliaq are providing a day-by-day account of their work to make high temporal and spatial resolution observations of oceanic velocity, density, and microstructure. Follow the field campaign.

Join Oceanographer Jim Thomson to learn why and how he studies ocean waves and turbulence. He describes the capabilities of microSWIFT buoys to provide data on wave conditions, sea surface temperature, and GPS location.

A Laboratory marine energy conversion system passed its greatest endurance test yet. The turbine-lander generated electricity for thousands of hours by harvesting tidal power in Sequim Bay, Washington.
