Onboard, everyone has their own shifting time. Mr squid Hello everyone! My name is Sijing Shen. I’m a first-year PhD student from School of Ocean Science, Bangor University. Through the previous posts, you’ve already got an overview of the QUICCHE project, which my PhD project is based on (I’m figuring out how the warm salty Indian Ocean water leakage into the South Atlantic influences the Benguela upwelling ecosystem over long time periods) …Okay! Let’s take
The Wave Glider is one of the many oceanographic instruments used in the QUICCHE campaign. The Wave Glider deployment. Ahoy from the R/V Roger Revelle! I am Tesha Toolsee from the Southern Ocean Carbon-Climate Observatory (SOCCO-CSIR) in Cape Town, South Africa. I am a 2nd year PhD candidate researching the impact of storms and meso-submesoscale features on the air-sea exchange of carbon dioxide (CO2) using insights from autonomous robots known as the Wave Glider! The Wave Glider
Hi everyone! My name is Rachel Sampson, I am a first-year PhD student at the University of Miami and I am already swimming in research out here in the Cape Cauldron! As you all know from previous posts, one of the Beal lab’s specialties will be deploying two 4,000-meter moorings which include ~50 instruments on each. This morning, we have finally picked up our winch used to deploy the moorings. As I write, we are
The Agulhas leakage is thought to have major implications for heat transport and global circulation patterns of the ocean and the QUICCHE campaign seeks to measure its magnitude using a large suite of instruments on a variety of oceanographic scales.
The Wire Flyer and the CTD rosette casting to a depth of 2300m were successfully deployed from the R/V Roger Revelle. Luna, the Wire Flyer of the QUICCHE campaign. Greetings QUICCHE blog readers! I am Nikita Qosholo, an honours’ student at the University of Cape Town (UCT). I still can’t believe I got the opportunity to be part of this amazing scientific adventure. Just like a bunch of others on board, this is my first
The set up of Normandy field campaign at the Raz Blanchard site was completed last week with the installation of the instruments on the rooftop of the semaphore of La Hague.
The first 48 drifters were released in a S shaped pattern during the QUICCHE campaign. The women in QUICCHE’s science team. Hi everyone! My name is Paloma Cartwright and I’m a PhD student at the University of Miami and member of the Beal Lab . This is my very first research cruise and I’m stoked to be part of this awesome group of scientists taking a slice of the ocean! The Beal Lab has two main projects
Welcome! Our ECS will be posting 2/3 times a week talking about their science/experiences/food/life on board our home for a month, R/V Roger Revelle. Credits: Yueng-Djern Lenn. I’m honored to start this blog! I’m Estel Font , PhD student at University of Gothenburg, part of PolarGliders group and FLOW lab. During QUICCHE , I’m in charge of deploying a large fleet of autonomous platforms (2 SeaExplorers, 1 SeaGlider, 2 Sailbuoys and 1 Waveglider) together with my other PolarGliders
On Monday 6th March over 40 researchers took part in the Pre-cruise meeting of the BioSWOT-Med campaign which will showcase the potential of next generation altimetry for plankton studies.
