Soundscape Listening Room

10 Jan 2018

Listen to examples of sounds from marine mammals and Earth.

Glider and mooring data plots

01 Dec 2017

Moorings float above the seafloor and can constantly take a variety of measurements, giving researchers a clear picture of oceanographic conditions.

Ocean acidification mooring 2 data

09 Nov 2017

The ocean acidification 2 (OA2) mooring was initially deployed in 2011 near Terrace Point, and was moved to Año Nuevo in 2015.

6

Wave Glider Tiny data

09 Nov 2017

The Wave Glider Tiny is an autonomous surface vehicle.

The data collected from this vehicle and from research ships and moorings near Monterey Bay are analyzed by oceanographers and marine scientists to study processes such as coastal upwelling, ocean acidification, hypoxia, and climate variability and change.

7

M1 mooring data

09 Nov 2017

The ‘M1’ mooring is located near the mouth of Monterey Bay in roughly 1,000 meters of water, and has been in near-continuous operation since the early 1990s.

8

Wave Glider Sparky data

09 Nov 2017

The Wave Glider Sparky is an autonomous surface vehicle. This vehicle was added to MBARI’s fleet in 2016. Sensors are mounted both in the vehicle hull and on the submerged glider, and measure ocean properties over time and space, including water temperature, salinity, and dissolved oxygen.

9

Ocean acidification mooring 1 data

09 Nov 2017

The ‘OA1’ Mooring, located just offshore of Hopkins Marine Station and the Monterey Bay Aquarium, was initially deployed in 2012. Sensors on the mooring measure ocean biogeochemical and physical properties over time, including water temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, chlorophyll fluorescence, pH, and pCO2 both in air and just below the surface. A meteorological sensor package provides measurements of wind speed and direction, air temperature, and air pressure. In 2014 an acoustic receiver was deployed as part of a collaborative project to monitor movements of tagged marine animals.

Deep-Sea Guide

07 Jan 2016

The Deep-Sea Guide, created by the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI), provides easy access to the institute’s database of millions of records of deep-sea animals, seafloor habitats, geological features, and research tools.

Spatial Temporal Oceanographic Query System (STOQS) Data

06 Jan 2016

STOQS is a geospatial database and web application designed to give oceanographers efficient integrated access to in situ measurement and ex situ sample data.

19

Upper ocean data

31 Dec 2015

MBARI’s biological oceanography group uses data from moorings, novel instruments, satellites, and cruise operations to study the variability of ocean chemistry and climate.

About MBARI

Research programs at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) encompass the entire ocean, from the surface waters to the deep seafloor, and from the coastal zone to the open sea. The need to understand the ocean in all its complexity and variability drives MBARI's research and development efforts.
