Morning in Newport OR, mobilizing for the S-MODE pilot cruise ⁦NASA Expeditions⁩ ⁦NASA⁩ ⁦Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI)⁩ ⁦Scripps Institution of Oceanography⁩

Bon voyage Oceanus! Saildrone's and the NASA Armstrong B200 have been making measurements in the S-MODE region off San Francisco today, and R/V Oceanus is on the way!

The RBR Concerto, adapted into the EcoCTD for towed underway profiling, is going to be a key measurement for the campaign, measuring ocean temperature, salinity, chlorophyll, and oxygen across small-scale ocean fronts

These storms are going to make life tough for people on the RV Oceanus working on the NASA S-MODE campaign-- 20-foot waves in the forecast

The Oceanus is finding big waves on their transit down the US West Coast

An older post about the #DopplerScatt instrument, which is a key part of S-MODE. It is a Doppler scatterometer, measuring the Doppler shift from cm-scale ocean waves to map ocean surface currents over a 25-km swath

We’re all glad the ship made it in!

Yes, not having to ride 9m waves in a 170 foot boat is definitely a silver lining of coming in for repairs!

This is a key instrument for the S-MODE cruise happening now!

We're back out to sea on the Oceanus after repairs. First item on the to-do list: deploy four wavegliders. These autonomous instruments are packed full of sensors to better understand waves, eddies and jets in the upper ocean and how they interact w/ the atmosphere. NASA S-MODE

RV Oceanus is back out to sea after coming in to San Francisco for repairs and shelter from some big waves. Five Saildrone's were out measuring through the storm, and they recorded 11m waves! (Plot: @wavesjam ; photo: Saildrone )

NASA S-MODE in the news!

Halloween on the NASA S-MODE cruise ⁦Saildrone⁩

If you give a bunch of oceanographers at sea some pumpkins, chances are they’ll carve something nautical. Happy Halloween from the #rvoceanus NASA S-MODE!

Yes, the ability to measure ocean currents at high resolution over a wide area from an aircraft is really amazing!

The flow of water in the #ocean is extremely complicated, and small ocean eddies and whirlpools are intermittent and ephemeral, making them extremely difficult to measure. NASA S-MODE NASA Earth Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) saildrone.com/news/nasa-s-mo…
