Greetings!

I hope September finds you well and safe from any impacts from Hurricane Idalia. Our community was certainly busy tracking the storm via gliders, Saildrones and CDIP stations (see details below).

There are plenty of things happening at GCOOS HQ — we’ve added new features to our tracking/piloting dashboard, GANDALF, to help support Gulf operators, have made updates to our ocean acidification network website, added new HFR data to our portal and more. We’ve also been working on the agenda for our virtual fall Members Meeting — scheduled for October — and hope you’ll be able to join us! And, if you’re not already an official member of GCOOS, please consider becoming a full member of the community to share your activities and research.

In August, we also said goodbye to Marion Stoessel. If you recall, she “officially” retired last year from her position as a Senior Research Associate on our Data Management and Cyberinfrastructure team, but we were able to entice her to rejoin us part-time to support GCOOS as we hired and trained new staff. Sadly for us — but happily for her — Marion’s retirement is now officially official and we wish her well in her new adventures.

In October, several GCOOS staff and I will be heading to the Oceans 2023 conference in Mississippi and I hope I’ll have the opportunity to catch up with those of you attending!

Until next month,

Community Vulnerability Assessment

The Interagency Working Group on Ocean Acidification (IWGOA) Coastal Communities Vulnerabilities Assessment and Monitoring Priorities report “Ocean Chemistry Coastal Community Assessment” has been published and is now in the hands of Congress. The assessment — which includes contributions from GCAN Steering Committee Chair and IWGOA member Kim Yates, GCOOS Board Member Pat Hogan, an IWGOA member, and GCAN Coordinator Jennifer Vreeland-Dawson — was designed to identify:

• Gaps in ocean acidification (OA) monitoring
• Geographic areas with gaps in OA research
• U.S. communities that might be impacted by OA
• Impacts of changing ocean carbonate chemistry
• Gaps in understanding of OA impacts on economically/commercially important species
• Particularly vulnerable habitats
• Areas in which existing ocean observing assets might be leveraged as platforms for the deployment of new sensors or other applicable observing technologies.

Hurricane News

Hurricane Vehicle Deployments

In August, Texas A&M University’s Geochemical and Environmental Research Group (TAMU-GERG) deployed three Slocum gliders in the western Gulf just before the recent spate of hurricanes. The gliders were deployed by Dr. Sakib Mahmud (GERG Postdoc) with Dr. Xiao Ge (GERG Postdoc) and Donovan Bright (GERG Technician). GCOOS Oceanographer Dr. Uchenna Nwankwo handled shore-side operations.

The gliders are deployed as part of the GCOOS disaster supplement glider project and larger national Hurricane Glider Initiative and funded by NOAA-IOOS and GCOOS in partnership with the Naval Oceanographic Office (NAVO) — an initiative that provides near-real time observations used by the National Weather Service/National Hurricane Center and others to estimate upper ocean heat content for hurricane intensification forecasts. Studies have shown that autonomous vehicles support better models for hurricane intensity and reduce forecast error. GCOOS plays a central role in helping to coordinate hurricane season glider deployments in the Gulf by supporting operators with a real-time tracking tool, GANDALF, which also serves data for forecasters and modelers.

This is the sixth year that NAVO has been a part of the Gulf Hurricane Glider Initiative and through the partnership loans 12 gliders to GCOOS, SECOORA and CARICOOS/OCOVI. All of the Navy gliders were deployed by Aug. 25 and the deployments were made possible with support from the Office of Marine and Aviation Operations (OMAO) Uncrewed Systems Operations Center.

Look for data from GERG’s Howdy and Sverdrup and NAVO’s NG781 — along with all the other vehicles we’re tracking on GANDALF!

Hurricane Idalia

As Hurricane Idalia, which made landfall as a category 3 storm near Keaton Beach, Florida, on Aug. 30, was passing through the Gulf, GCOOS was tracking 23 vehicles, including three in the hurricane’s path.

GCOOS-sponsored USF gliders Gansett and Jaialai captured temperature and salinity observations, as Idalia rapidly intensified to a category 4 storm while crossing over record-breaking sea surface temperatures.

Data from Saildrone 1083 showed a precipitous drop in pressure and a rapid increase in wind speeds and wave heights — recording 31-foot waves! On Aug. 29, Saildrone 1083 had passed through the north side of the eye wall, into the eye of Idalia, then through the southern eye wall, all while multiple dropsondes were deployed over the Saildrone from the NOAA P-3 Hurricane Hunter aircraft. This surface vehicle withstood sustained tropical storm force winds for more than nine hours.

“From the Saildrone data, we calculate the turbulent momentum exchange directly using high-frequency wind data,” says Dr. Gregory Foltz, oceanographer and co-lead of NOAA's Saildrone Hurricane Observations at the Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML). “This gives us estimates of the drag effect of the ocean on a hurricane's winds that act to decrease the hurricane's intensity, and how it depends on winds and waves.”

Having better information on the air-sea exchanges of heat and momentum can be used to improve hurricane forecast models, and, data is also transmitted in near-real-time to forecast centers around the world for immediate ingestion into their hurricane models to aid prediction.

“Saildrones are unique,” Foltz says, “giving us comprehensive ocean-atmosphere measurements from the ocean's surface, with the capability to be steered into the strongest parts of major hurricanes while returning data continuously in near-real-time.”

The Saildrone was also equipped with a camera and it recorded video as the hurricane passed overhead. Click the video to see what Saildrone 1083 saw!

Coastal Data Information Program (CDIP) stations also measured historically large waves generated by Hurricane Idalia as it approached Florida’s Gulf Coast.

Waves peaked at about 30 feet off St. Petersburg, reports Ross Timmerman of SCCOOS and Research Data Analyst for Scripps Institution of Oceanography. And storm waves exceeding 13 feet were measured at stations along the North Carolina coast as the system moved out over the Atlantic.

Technology Sets Records

The 2024 edition of the Guinness Book of World Records marks two hurricane hallmarks:

• NOAA and the Altius-600 uncrewed aircraft system, developed by Anduril, set a record for the longest endurance flight inside a tropical cyclone by an uncrewed aircraft. The drone, dropped from NOAA’s P-3 Hurricane Hunter aircraft into category 5 Hurricane Ian on Sept. 28, 2022, recorded wind speeds of 216 mph during its record 102-minute flight, transmitted to forecasters and scientists in near-real time.
• NOAA and Saildrone, Inc. were also recognized for using a Saildrone to record the highest wind speed ever recorded by an uncrewed surface vehicle. The drone recorded 126.4 wind speed during category 4 Hurricane Sam on Sept. 30, 2021.

Improving Our Piloting Dashboard

Speaking of records, we hit our personal best— 27 — for simultaneously tracking and hosting data from autonomous vehicles on our piloting dashboard, GANDALF, at the beginning of September. We’ve been tracking Slocum gliders, Saildrones and Seagliders in the Gulf of Mexico — including in Mexican waters — the Caribbean and wider Atlantic this hurricane season. And, thanks to the hard work of intern Xiao Qi, from the data science capstone project at George Washington University’s data science graduate program, GANDALF is also now displaying 80 ARGO floats, covering the same area. Data from the additional floats provides useful information for pilots — especially during tropical storms and hurricanes.

Another fantastic improvement by GCOOS Developer Bob Currier is that GANDALF now includes new layers. In addition to navigation, hydrography and Real-Time Ocean Forecast System (RTOFS) models, you can now view layers showing 6KM HF Radar, along with satellite imagery from NWS NEXRAD, LSU GOES-16, MODIS sea surface temperatures and MODIS chlorophyll. These additional layers can help operators change or update their glider missions remotely from the lab.

Partners with vehicles on the dashboard include NOAA, TAMU-GERG, University of Southern Mississippi/U.S. Navy (USM/USN), Skidaway Marine Institute of Oceanography (SKIO), the University of South Florida (USF) and Centro de Investigación Científica y de Educación Superior de Ensenada’s (CICESE) in Mexico.

This month, we also welcomed a newcomer to the GANDALF dashboard: Sedna, a Slocum glider piloted by Dr. Natalia Sidorovskaia, Chair of the Physics Department at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. Welcome aboard!

Modeling Sediment Movements

Speaking of modeling, the wake of Hurricane Idalia underscores the need to understand the drivers and processes responsible for the exchange of sediments along the freshwater to saltwater continuum. In the short term, the exchange is central to estimating how a particular inundation event might impact coastal land loss, distribute contaminants like pesticides and heavy metals, and affect drinking water. In the longer-term, the interactions influence the dynamics of things like eutrophication, algal blooms, and coastal acidification.

The Coastal Ocean Modeling Testbed (COMT) project led by LSU’s Dr. Kevin Xu is advancing predictive capabilities for the transport and fate of contaminants through the river-estuary-ocean continuum and is addressing gaps in the timely forecasting of contaminant transport brought to light by the Gulf of Mexico Research Initiative post-Deepwater Horizon, particularly establishing methods for the dynamic coupling of models across different flow regimes. 

Open Ocean Restoration Plan

The Deepwater Horizon Open Ocean Trustee Implementation Group released the Final Open Ocean Restoration Plan 3 selecting seven projects totaling almost $33 million to help restore seabirds injured by the 2010 oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

Improving Marine Organism Observations

With many of the more than 200,000 species that form the heart of ocean ecosystems and the services they provide at risk, the need for marine biodiversity observing capacity is more urgent than ever. Most recently, GCOOS has been working with partners at SECOORA, USF and several marine sanctuaries in the Southeast U.S. to co-design tools that enable monitoring ocean conditions like temperature, salinity and turbidity and their impacts on marine life within the sanctuaries through the Marine Biodiversity Observation Network (MBON).

The goal is to develop a network of networks connecting multiple components of the system — from technical capacity to stakeholder interactions — to better predict marine life movements and population changes like we do the weather.

“MBON is working with colleagues around the world to put a layer of life in the maps of bathymetry being generated by programs like Seabed 2030 to help build a path to sustainable development and conservation,” says MBON PI Dr. Frank Muller-Karger of USF.

Not Just Hot at the Top: Understanding Bottom Marine Heat Waves

With all the news of record-breaking sea surface temperatures, you might be wondering what’s happening at depth.

Authors of a new paper in the journal Nature Communications used a high-resolution (1/12-degree) ocean reanalysis to assess bottom marine heatwaves (BMHW) along the continental shelves of North America. Looking at these large marine ecosystems in “Bottom marine heatwaves along the continental shelves of North America,” the paper’s authors found that marine heat wave intensity and duration varies strongly with depth and that bottom heat waves can be more intense and persist longer than surface marine heat waves. They also found that while both bottom and top layer marine heat waves often happen at the same time, that isn’t always the case. Bottom heat waves can occur without a heat wave in sea surface temperatures and that deeper regions in which the mixed layer does not typically reach the seafloor exhibit less synchronicity between bottom and surface waters.

In-situ measurements from Alabama’s Real-Time Coastal Observing System (ARCOS) were used to help validate the Global Ocean Reanalysis and Simulations 12v1 product (GLORYS) data the paper was based on.

ARCOS is believed to be the longest-running time series of relatively high frequency (hourly) bottom data on the shelf in the Gulf of Mexico, says Dr. Brian Dzwonkowski Associate Professor in the Stokes School of Marine and Environmental Sciences at the University of South Alabama and Senior Marine Scientist at GCOOS partner Dauphin Island Sea Lab. The shelf mooring site has been collecting data since the fall of 2004. “It’s great to see how long-term datasets like this one can help benefit our understanding of our oceans and how the changes at such sites can help us understand impacts ecosystems and organisms,” he said.
