Gulf of Mexico heat up. Loop current timelapse

-
This TimelapseTuesday, we’re looking at sea surface temperatures. 

As meteorological summer approached, NOAA’s GOES East satellite watched the Gulf of Mexico heat up. We can even see the warm “loop current” from the Caribbean Sea flowing into the Gulf Stream in this visualization from April 9 to May 29, 2024.

Scientists have high hopes for the first mission to collect rocks from the far side of the Moon.   A Chinese Long March 5 rocket, carrying the Chang’e-6 mission lunar probe, lifts off in the rain at the Wenchang Satellite Launch Centre on Hainan Island. (Hector Retamal/AFP via Getty) Today we hear that Chang’e-6 has successfully launched to the far side of the Moon, explore why grad students are going hungry on campus and read the letter that jump-started Alzheimer’s research.   China has successfully launched its historic Chang’e-6 mission. The 53-day odyssey will be the most complex and challenging Moon mission China has carried out. If all goes according to plan, scientists will be examining the first rocks from the Moon’s far side by late June.   The 7.2-metre-tall, eight-tonne spacecraft lifted off aboard a Long March 5 rocket on Friday afternoon local time, piercing through a tropical rainstorm from the Wenchang Satellite Launch Centre on Hainan Island. ...

Image
  The laboratory of Dr. Kim Holland, also known as the Shark Lab, is part of the Hawai’i Institute of Marine Biology (HIMB). HIMB is a research institute of the School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology at the University of Hawai’i at Manoa, which is located on Moku o Lo’e (Coconut Island) in Kane’ohe Bay, O’ahu.   Our research group specializes in organismic and supraorganismic biology of marine organisms. The predominant research approach is to take advantage of the laboratory’s unique physical setting by blending rigorous laboratory work with well-focused field experiments to investigate the behavior, physiology, and ecology of sharks and other fish.   To learn more about our group and the research we do, please select from the links provided above.   Check out our Hawai’i Tiger Shark Tracking website provided by the Pacific Islands Ocean Observing System (PacIOOS). https://www.pacioos.hawaii.edu/projects/sharks/ Tagged Tiger Sharks to Collect B...

Wave Glider SV5: Enhanced Capabilities and Specific Use Cases

-
Image
The Wave Glider SV5 expands the range of persistent, uncrewed maritime missions with enhanced solar power collection and storage, sustaining high-power payloads in extreme environments. At over five meters in length, the Wave Glider SV5 also offers additional capacity for payloads and complex configurations. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DJ9-Z0kx9NL/?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== ○ Rewritten with Detailed Examples The Wave Glider SV5, developed by Liquid Robotics (a Boeing subsidiary), is a cutting-edge uncrewed marine platform that leverages solar and wave energy for long-duration, autonomous operations. With upgraded solar panels and energy storage systems compared to the SV3 model, the SV5 delivers reliable high-power output, supporting a wide range of payloads in extreme marine environments, such as high waves, corrosive saltwater, or extreme temperatures. Measuring over five meters in length, it provides ample space for diverse payloads and complex configurations, making it i...
