Marine submerged buoys can effectively obtain various parameters of seawater, which plays an important role in the research of marine physical phenomena, marine environmental changes, and climate change. However, traditional self-contained submerged...

Near-inertial internal waves (NIWs) generated by surface wind forcing are intermittently enhanced below and within the surface mixed layer. The NIW kinetic energy below the surface mixed layer varies over intraseasonal, interannual, and decadal times...

A proper design of the mooring systems for Wave Energy Converters (WECs) requires an accurate investigation of both operating and extreme wave conditions. A careful analysis of these systems is required to design a mooring configuration that ensures...

There has been growing interest recently in hybrid installations integrating the offshore wind farm and aquaculture farm as co-existence while optimizing ocean space use. The offshore marine farms beyond coastal or sheltered areas will require moorin...

High-resolution mooring observations captured diverse upper-ocean responses during typhoon passage, showing strong agreement with satellite-derived sea surface temperature and salinity. Analysis indicates that significant wind-induced mixing drove pr...

A pressure sensor, located for four months in the middle of a 1275 m-long taut deep-ocean mooring in 2380 m water depth above a seamount with sub-surface top-buoys and seafloor anchor-weight, demonstrates narrow-band spectral peaks of deterministic w...

To facilitate climate change adaptations and water management, estimates of precipitation retention time (time required for precipitation to reach a lake) can help to accurately determine a water body’s terrestrial water storage capacity and wa...

Data from a subsurface mooring deployed in the western South China Sea shows clear intra-seasonal oscillations (ISO) at the period of 40~70 days. Analysis of remotelysensed sea surface height (SSH) anomalies in the same area indicates that these ISO...

This paper reports the water temperature structure and associated coastal processes in the NE part of the Black Sea. In situ temperature was measured in the water area of the Utrish Nature Reserve. The thermistor chain was moored in 2020 and included...

Tropical cyclones (TCs) are natural disasters for coastal regions. TCs with maximum wind speeds higher than 32.7 m/s in the north-western Pacific are referred to as typhoons. Typhoons Sarika and Haima successively passed our moored observation array...

Salinity extremes (SEs) play a crucial role in marine ecosystems, ocean circulation, and climate variability. Understanding their distribution and drivers is essential for predicting changes in ocean salinity under climate change, particularly in dyn...

Three typhoon events were selected to examine the impact of energy transformation on near-inertial oscillations (NIOs) using observations from a subsurface mooring, which was deployed at 125° E and 18° N on 26 September 2014 and recovered on...

This project addresses the need for an expansion in the monitoring of marine environments by providing a detailed description of a low cost, robust, user friendly sonde, built on Arduino Mega 2560 (Mega) and Arduino Uno (Uno) platforms. The sonde can...

Based on horizontal velocity data recorded by a moored acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) deployed on the southwestern continental slope of the East China Sea (ECS), this study investigates the characteristics of near-inertial waves (NIWs) indu...

In this study, the Regional Ocean Modelling System (ROMS) with a spatial resolution of 2 km is used to understand the cooling responses in the sea northeast of Taiwan associated with multiple typhoons. Sea level measurements derived from in situ tida...

Near Inertial Oscillations (NIOs) are ocean oscillations forced by intermittent winds. They are most energetic at mid-latitudes, particularly in regions with atmospheric storm tracks. Wind-driven, large-scale NIOs are quickly scattered by ocean mesos...

Exploiting the potential of space-borne oceanic measurements to characterize the sub-surface structure of the ocean becomes critical in areas where deployment of in situ sensors might be difficult or expensive. Sea Surface Temperature (SST) observati...

Direction-finding SeaSonde (4.463 MHz; 5.2625 MHz) and phased-array WEllen RAdar WERA (9.33 MHz; 13.5 MHz) High-frequency radar (HFR) systems are routinely operated in Australia for scientific research, operational modeling, coastal monitoring, fishe...
