Research Moored Array News Today

India and the us have decided to reactivate the indian ocean observing system (indoos), a network of 36 moored buoys in the high seas to collect h i g h - r e s o l u t i o n ocean and atmospheric data for weather forecasts. the indoos array of buoys fell into neglect and disrepair during the years of the covid-19 pandemic, leading to gaps in observational data considered crucial by weather forecasters, particularly since the links between the indian ocean dipole phenomenon and monsoon were esta...

India and the US will reactivate the Indian Ocean Observing System (IndOOS) to collect data for weather forecasts. The move addresses gaps in observational data related to the Indian Ocean Dipole phenomenon and monsoon, with discussions on the RAMA programme and ship-time.

Head of the Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency (BMKG), Dwikorita Karnawati, has reaffirmed Indonesia's commitment to strengthening ...

Understanding the secrets of a warming ocean means steering straight into the biggest hurricanes. Enter the saildrone.

High interannual sea surface temperature anomalies of more than 2ºC were recorded along the coasts of Angola and Namibia between October 2019 and January 2020. This extreme coastal warm event that has been classified as a Benguela Niño, reached its peak amplitude in November 2019 in the Angola Benguela front region. In contrast to classical Benguela Niños, the 2019 Benguela Niño was generated by a combination of local and remote forcing. In September 2019, a local warming was...

Keeping track of ocean health is critical for understanding climate change, weather patterns, and the health of important fisheries. But how do NOAA and partner scientists gather data on such a vast environment?  One big way is with buoys, ocean observing platforms that help scientists monitor the global ocean — including in remote, hard-to-reach areas. Some of these buoys float along the ocean surface, gathering data as they drift with currents (sometimes even into the paths of...
