Fall 2014 Experiment summary:
For the 2014 Fall experiment the CANON team will follow a subsurface patch infused with two tracers, Rhodamine and SF6. The patch will also be marked with drifters, floats and an AUV and will be followed over multiple (1-3 weeks) days with a combination of AUVs, wave gliders and ships. The location of the experiment will be inshore of M1 where we know the processes of interest occur and the physical dynamics are weak and conducive to patch following. The scientific focus will be on the nitrogen cycle and specifically on the re-mineralization of organic matter to nitrate in the pycnocline where the patch and the assets will be deployed. Primary, new and export production will be measured using a variety of methods in an attempt to balance the inputs and outputs of nitrogen to and from the primary producers.

Fall 2013 CANON ECOHAB Experiment September 2013

Fall Experiment Context:
The fall 2013 experiment is the second of two planned collaborations between MBARI's CANON Initiative and the NOAA ECOHAB project entitled, A Regional Comparison of Upwelling and Coastal Land Use Patterns on the Development of HAB Hotspots Along the California Coast. Institutions participating in the ECOHAB project are UCSC (lead R. Kudela), MBARI, MLML, CeNCOOS, USC, SCCWRP, JPL, and NOAA. This second experiment will take place in the Monterey Bay region during September of 2013.

Planned Activities

  1. From Francisco's Email:
    1. ESP deployment/recovery (Scholin et al.) - Sept 7 (Carson) - Oct 7 (Carson), how many, where, do/should we have a drifting ESP, is the schedule adaptive?

High Priority ODSS Features
  1. Sensor data from vehicles overlayed on tracks (sensor tracks) in situational awareness
  2. A communication path for operator to notify ESP team when ESP should trigger (ESP may be configured to trigger on data from it's ancillary sensors).
  3. Get USC Glider data into ODSS (more on what that means to come: Arvind is POC)
  4. Get LRAUV data into ODSS, real-time sensor data in situational awareness, access to LRAUV data pages, access to high resolution LRAUV data (more details to come)
  5. Get Yi's ROMS model data into ODSS
  6. AIS ship tracks need to be working
  7. Shared planning for vehicle operations
  8. Some mechanism must be in place to send RC locations as well as Dorado waypoints to the crew on the Carson
  9. Integrate Ryan's glider planning service into ODSS.
  10. Make sure there are three pathways for AUV data:
    1. Acoustic model from Dorado->RC->Shore over VSAT/3G (Frederic will write the software for the acoustic link)
    2. Directly from Dorado->Shore over Iridium
    3. High Resolution AUV data and processed products (? - maybe over 3G)

Spring 2012 CANON Experiment May 21 - June 6 2012

Platform Timeline May 2012

Research focus: Nitrogen biogeochemical dynamics along upwelling gradients in the California Current System.Spring CANON12 - Studies in the shelf region

The Spring focus is on the upwelling plume, the upwelling shadow in northern Monterey Bay and the front in between them. Figure 7Bio shows the mean sea surface temperature and fluorescence line height (a proxy for chlorophyll) for the May-June period with the proposed locations of AUV, glider and ship tracks.

The list of assets and their dates is given below.

  • Deploy Spray, Wave and Webb gliders on May 21 for reconnaissance phase (see attached document for repeat transects), recover on June 7 or 8
  • Deploy LRAUV Daphne May 29 (Tuesday) with Turbulence Sensor for transect along 36.9N. Recover LRAUV Daphne May 31 (Thursday). Deploy LRAUV Tethys May 31.
  • Deploy LRAUV Daphne June 4th (Monday). Recover both LRAUVs no later than June 8th.
  • Deploy Dorado May, 29, 30, 31, June 1 (three evenings) with LIST and LIST Holo, make transect offshore along 36.9, collect water on the return transect in upwelling plume, front and shadow. Repeat June 5, 6, and maybe 7.
  • Deploy R/V Fulmar May 29, 30, 31, and maybe June 1 deploy drifters along 36.9 and collect water on the return transect in upwelling plume, front and shadow. Repeat June 5, 6, 7, and maybe 8. Drifters recovered daily unless clear that they will not exit region rapidly.
