Science Objectives | |
This cruise represents the second infrastructure deployment for the Pioneer Array of the National Science Foundation’s Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI). The Pioneer Array will include a network of moorings and autonomous robotic vehicles to monitor waters of the continental shelf and slope south of New England and, in particular, the shelfbreak front where nutrients and other properties are exchanged between the coast and the deep ocean. Data from the Pioneer Array will provide new insights into coastal ocean processes such as shelf/slope nutrient exchange, air-sea property exchange, carbon cycling, and ocean acidification that are important to the New England shelf, and to continental shelf ecosystems around the world. For further information, see http://www.oceanobservatories.org. | |

Science Activities | |
The Pioneer-2 cruise has 4 main objectives and 5 ancillary objectives. The main objectives are: 1) Deploy five OOI Coastal Profiler Moorings (CPMs) and validate their operation, 2) Deploy 6 OOI Coastal Gliders and validate their operation, 3) Recover two CPMs, 4) Perform field verification activities, including CTD casts with water sampling at mooring sites and glider deployment sites. The ancillary objectives are a) Deploy an OOI Coastal Surface Mooring (CSM) with fuel cell, b) Recover a CSM, c) Recover a CPM anchor and line pack, d) Conduct Seabeam surveys of the mooring sites and of the Pioneer moored array region in general, and e) Conduct cross-shelf and along-shelf surveys in the vicinity of the moored array using shipboard ADCPs. | |
