NASA S-MODE

@NASA's Submesoscale Ocean Dynamics Experiment (S-MODE) is a mission to learn about the role of kilometer-scale ocean eddies in the climate system

[Saildrone @saildrone]

The flow of water in the #ocean is extremely complicated, and small ocean eddies and whirlpools are intermittent and ephemeral, making them extremely difficult to measure. @NASA_SMODE @nasaearth @whoi https://t.co/zc4o5TPN70

[NASA S-MODE @NASA_SMODE]

Yes, the ability to measure ocean currents at high resolution over a wide area from an aircraft is really amazing!

[Katy Abbott @katyeabbott]

If you give a bunch of oceanographers at sea some pumpkins, chances are they’ll carve something nautical. Happy Halloween from the #rvoceanus @NASA_SMODE!

[NASA S-MODE @NASA_SMODE]

Halloween on the NASA S-MODE cruise ⁦@saildrone⁩

[NASA S-MODE @NASA_SMODE]

@NASA_SMODE in the news!

[Tara Duggan @taraduggan]

To study the role Earth’s oceans play in climate change, NASA recently launched a mission 100 miles off the San Francisco coast that involves a ship, two airplanes, and a fleet of saildrones. @NASA_SMODE

@roguewave @OceanMat_ters It is a “sea snake” for measuring sea surface temperature (floating thermistor)

[NASA S-MODE @NASA_SMODE]

RV Oceanus is back out to sea after coming in to San Francisco for repairs and shelter from some big waves. Five @saildrone's were out measuring through the storm, and they recorded 11m waves! (Plot: @wavesjam ; photo: @saildrone )

[Larry O'Neill @laoneill25]

We're back out to sea on the Oceanus after repairs. First item on the to-do list: deploy four wavegliders. These autonomous instruments are packed full of sensors to better understand waves, eddies and jets in the upper ocean and how they interact w/ the atmosphere. @NASA_SMODE

[NASA S-MODE @NASA_SMODE]

This is a key instrument for the S-MODE cruise happening now!

Interested in hearing more about the details of #EcoCTD developed at @WHOI ?

[NASA S-MODE @NASA_SMODE]

Yes, not having to ride 9m waves in a 170 foot boat is definitely a silver lining of coming in for repairs!

[Larry O'Neill @laoneill25]

@HRPrendeville @NASA_SMODE We have a bad oil leak in the propulsion system. :(. But the silver lining is that we don’t have to ride out the upcoming storm at sea.

[NASA S-MODE @NASA_SMODE]

We’re all glad the ship made it in!

@NASAJPL's Dragana Perkovic-Martin is also the lead engineer on the #DopplerScatt instrument being used to measure ocean currents in the NASA S-MODE field campaign

[UMass Amherst @UMassAmherst]

Shout-out to UMass Amherst alumna Dragana Perkovic-Martin, who led the radar system engineering team as part of the Mars Perseverance landing! Learn more about her work with @NASA 🚀 https://t.co/iR23wG0Op1

[NASA S-MODE @NASA_SMODE]

An older post about the #DopplerScatt instrument, which is a key part of S-MODE. It is a Doppler scatterometer, measuring the Doppler shift from cm-scale ocean waves to map ocean surface currents over a 25-km swath

[NASA Armstrong @NASAArmstrong]

NASA scientists are hard at work trying to unlock mysteries of our planet’s ocean surface currents & winds using a new Earth science radar instrument called #DopplerScatt. Measures winds and currents simultaneously. More: https://t.co/Fz19yscFEd #Earth #NASA4Earth #EarthDay2018

The Oceanus is finding big waves on their transit down the US West Coast

[NASA S-MODE @NASA_SMODE]

These storms are going to make life tough for people on the RV Oceanus working on the @NASA_SMODE campaign-- 20-foot waves in the forecast

[National Weather Service @NWS]

A couple more Pacific storm systems will arrive into the West Coast mid to late week with mainly locally heavy rain, especially for the northern half of CA. This map shows the current 7-day rainfall forecast through Tue evening

[NASA S-MODE @NASA_SMODE]

The RBR Concerto, adapted into the EcoCTD for towed underway profiling, is going to be a key measurement for the campaign, measuring ocean temperature, salinity, chlorophyll, and oxygen across small-scale ocean fronts

[RBR @rbr_global]

Good luck to all on the @nasa_smode cruise over the next couple of weeks on the #RVOceanus!

Special shoutout to our Research Scientist, @oceanmat_ters who shared a few images of mobilization with us
