NANOOS Visualization System (NVS)

Announcing the NANOOS Visualization System (NVS), your tool for easy access to Northwest coastal ocean data. NVS gathers data across many assets including buoys, shore stations, and coastal land-based stations. New downloads and visualizations are provided in a consistent format. You can access plots and data for almost all in-situ assets for the previous 30-day period. Try NVS and let us know what you think.   More >>

Pelagic Imaging Mid-frequency Sonar — PIMS

A novel sonar has been developed and deployed to image fish aggregations at long ranges in shallow water environments. It exploits the effects of waveguide propagation in the ocean and can be deployed in a fixed location in conjunction with other ocean observatory platforms and instruments.   More >>

Another Seaglider Journey for the
Record Book

Since fall 2004 continuous measurements have been taken of the fresh water exiting the Arctic through Davis Strait into the Labrador Sea. More recently, Seagliders were modified for long-term under-ice data collection; one operated autonomously for 25 weeks and traveled more than 450 miles.   More >>
