The HF radar transmit tower watches over the frozen Chukchi Sea at Point Lay. We mark ‘em with bright orange reflective tape so snowmobilers don’t hit them. I apologize, as this post is a little belated. I have been back from a trip to take down a seasonal HF Radar array on the North . . . → Read More: Notes from the field: Observing the ocean from dry land

Al and I spoke previously about how for too long ocean exploration has suffered from chronic underfunding and the lack of an independent agency with a dedicated mission. We called for the creation of a NASA-style agency to ensure the future health of US ocean science and exploration (Read Part 1, Part 2, and Part . . . → Read More: Four Decades of Funding of U.S. Marine Biology: Are We In Trouble?
By Dr. Martini, on  November 7th, 2012  5 comments  Natural Disaster, Uncategorized, Vessels and Equipment, Weather As a native Long Islander, I watched intently as Sandy made landfall. Offshore of NY Harbor, winds gusted up 70 mph and waves swelled to 32 feet in height. A 9ft Storm surge and large spring tides flooded downtown Manhattan. Waves battered the New York and New Jersey coasts. People died and entire communities were . . . → Read More: A recap of Hurricane Sandy: the ocean version

Sound in the ocean does not behave like sound in the air. This is also what makes sound in the ocean so awesome. Sound in water is like the cool funky uncle of the sound family. It travels ridiculously fast, nearly 5 times faster in water than in air. It also does not travel in . . . → Read More: Bending sound, the weird path of sound in the ocean
By Dr. Martini, on October 1st, 2012 9 comments Gadgets & Gear, Uncategorized, Vessels and Equipment So you are on research cruise. And in your state of unadulterated science glee you decide that you want to share with the world your knowledge of this awesome oceanographic research instrument called “the CTD.” However, in the immortal words of Kanye West, “I’m really happy for you and Imma let you finish, but…” a . . . → Read More: The venerable, yet chronically misidentified, CTD
