In July 2025, we organized a hybrid workshop based in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, that brought together 45 oceanographers and marine technicians involved in the RAPID and OSNAP arrays. Though previous meetings had focused on the scientific findings of these arrays, this workshop was the first to focus on their operational logistics and data handling. Specifically, the workshop sought to: (1) facilitate discussion and knowledge sharing between the RAPID and OSNAP groups, (2) improve awareness within the RAPID/OSNAP community of alternative observational technologies and techniques, and (3) move toward common measurement techniques where possible. This paper summarizes the outcomes of this productive workshop. Figure from Foukal et al. (2026).
