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,

After 55 days at sea and a successful re-occupation of 150 ocean stations as a part of the decadal GO-SHIP transect A16N, NOAA Ship Ronald H. Brown 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

To better care for our Earth and mitigate the effects of climate change, we must first look to the ocean. This Earth Day, we invite you to learn more about NOAA’s contributions to the global ocean observing system. Every day, millions of ocean measurements are collected from the surface to the seafloor, all across the

The Global Ocean Monitoring and Observing Program (GOMO) has a history of working with NOAA’s Sea Grant Knauss Fellowship Program each year, and has supported 12 Knauss Fellows since 2015! This February, GOMO welcomed two new fellows, Sarah Tucker and Jessica (Jesse) Gwinn. Sarah comes to GOMO from Hawaii Sea Grant and is working to

GOMO Plank Owner to Retire After 28 years associated with NOAA Research, Dr. Sidney Thurston will retire from Federal service at NOAA on December 31, 2022 to accept the newly established position of Vice President for Global Science and Technology (S&T) at EarthX.org and EarthXTV.com.  Dr. Thurston joined NOAA’s “Office of Global Programs” (OGP) in 1995 as a Knauss Sea Grant Fellow

We are pleased to announce that Dr. Sandy Lucas has joined GOMO as the Director of the Arctic Research Program (ARP). She comes to GOMO after serving for the past 12 years as the Program Manager for the Climate Variability and Predictability Program in the Climate Program Office (CPO).

Human-caused climate change fuels warmer, wetter, stormier Arctic On December 13, the 2022 Arctic Report Card was released at a press conference hosted by the American Geophysical Union (AGU) as part of its Fall Meeting. Opening remarks were provided by NOAA Administrator Rick Spinrad. Lead editor Matthew Druckenmiller, a research scientist with the National Snow and Ice Data

NOAA’s Ocean Acidification and Global Ocean Monitoring and Observing Programs on behalf of the National Oceanographic Partnership Program (NOPP) are soliciting proposals focused on (a) expanding understanding of various aspects of marine Carbon Dioxide Removal (mCDR); (b) understanding associated co-benefits (including ocean acidification mitigation) and risks of marine CDR; and (c) the science needed to build
