The University of St Andrews was the prime grantee for this project. The PI, Peter Tyack, was ultimately responsible for the project. Leigh Hickmott, also supported through the University of St Andrews, acted as the cruise science lead when the PI could not be on board. The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) was subcontracted to provide DTAGs and associated supplies, to organize the lo...

Rule based reasoning and case based reasoning have emerged as two important and complementary reasoning methodologies in artificial intelligence (Al). This paper describes the approach for the development of CORMS AI, a decision support system which employs rule-based and case-based reasoning to assist NOAA’s Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services watch standing personnel in...

Due to the remarkable ecological value of Ross Sea, Commission for Conservation Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) adopted a large-scale Sea region marine protected area (RSRMPA) in 2016. Since then, many CCAMLR Members have conducted research and monitoring region. In 2021, U.S. science community convened workshop collate, synthesize, coordinate RSRMPA. Here we present results, includi...

Stormwater runoff plumes, municipal wastewater plumes, and natural hydrocarbon seeps are important pollution hazards for the heavily populated Southern California Bight (SCB). Due to their small size, dynamic and episodic nature, these hazards are difficult to sample adequately using traditional in situ oceanographic methods. Complex coastal circulation and persistent cloud cover can further co...

Ocean gliders constitute an important advance in the highly demanding ocean monitoring scenario. Their efficiency, endurance and increasing robustness make these vehicles an ideal observing platform for many long term oceanographic applications [1]. However, they have proved to be also useful in the opportunistic short term characterization of dynamic structures. Among these, mesoscale eddies a...

Oceanographic datacenters at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) are geographically sparse and disparate in their technological strengths and standardization on common Internet data formats. Virtualized search across these national assets would significantly benefit the oceans research community. To date, the lack of common software infrastructure and open APIs to access th...
