2021 TROPICAL HURRICANE GLIDER MISSION IS UNDERWAY!
CARICOOS, with support from NOAA-Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML), successfully deployed five (5) underwater gliders in mid-June 2021, four owned by NOAA-AOML and one by CARICOOS. Of those, three were deployed in the Caribbean Sea and two in the Atlantic Ocean. These underwater gliders will continually gather temperature and salinity profiles up to 1000… Read More
ARECIBO WAVE DATA BUOY: A MULTI-AGENCY COLLABORATION TO EXPAND RESEARCH IN ENERGY AND ENERGY-RELATED PROGRAMS
On June 15, 2021, CARICOOS assisted the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and the US Department of Energy (DOE) with the deployment of a wave buoy off the coast of Arecibo to provide wave observations for Puerto Rico’s northern coast. The observations will be used to measure wave energy in coastal ocean waters and to… Read More
REFURBISHMENT OF CARICOOS MOORED OCEANOGRAPHIC DATA BUOYS
In May 2021, CARICOOS oceanographic data buoys off the coast of San Juan, Ponce and Vieques underwent their yearly refurbishment in order to keep them operational and ready for the 2021 Atlantic hurricane season. The overhaul included the replacement of batteries, sensors, and electronics. Much of this work was accomplished by our partners at the… Read More
