Conductivity Temperature and Depth (CTD) measurements were collected aboard R/V Ocean Veritas 07 to determine physical oceanographic parameters of the water column, and in some cases used to help guide sample collection as part of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill sampling effort. Temperature, conductivity/salinity, depth, dissolved oxygen, and fluorometry data were collected onboard R/V Ocean Veritas 09. The final product is a series of NetCDF files containing every CTD cast that has been processed and quality checked.

Conductivity Temperature and Depth (CTD) measurements were collected aboard NOAA Ship Pisces to determine physical oceanographic parameters of the water column, and in some cases used to help guide sample collection as part of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill sampling effort. **Temperature, conductivity/salinity, depth, dissolved oxygen, and fluorometry data** were collected onboard NOAA Ship Pisces. The final product is a series of NetCDF files containing every CTD cast that has been processed and quality checked.

In July 2014, Fish Lidar, Oceanic, Experimental (FLOE) Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) was installed in a NOAA Twin Otter to make the first synoptic measurements of subsurface phytoplankton layers associated with the retreating ice in the Arctic Ocean. We made a series of flights out of Barrow, Alaska over the Chukchi Sea to the west or the Beaufort Sea to the East. Our objectives were to see if thin plankton layers exist below the surface in the Arctic and how they might be affected by retreating ice.

Declining health of coral reef ecosystems led scientists to search for factors that support reef resilience: the ability of reefs to resist and recover from environmental disturbance. Scientists recently identified 11 measurable factors that affect the resilience of coral reefs (McClanahan et al., 2012). Reef resilience factors include characteristics of the coral assemblage, populations of fish that live on the reef, land use practices, and water temperature variability.

The Center for Coastal Monitoring and Assessment (CCMA) conducted the eleventh year of an ongoing scientific research mission onboard NOAA Ship Nancy Foster funded by NOAA’s Coral Reef Conservation Program. The purpose of the cruise was to collect swath bathymetry, acoustical backscatter, ROV optical validation, fishery acoustics, and Slocum Glider deployment in the Red Hind and Mutton Snapper Marine Conservation Districts of St. Croix, USVI.
