Two week ago Koskelo started its BS20241 mission in the Bothnian Sea. Yesterday we had to recover it. Fortunately successfully!

Known for its natural beauty, the Valdes Peninsula in Argentina's Patagonia is facing the challenge of mounting plastic waste along its coastline reut.rs/4eqVdla

Breaking News! Code Yikes! Global sea surface temperatures are back at record levels after large gains the last 3 days. (NOAA data.)

Hiittisten partio oli virka-aputehtävällä ja kävi noutamassa yhdessä Ilmatieteenlaitoksen tutkijoiden kanssa merentutkimuslaitteen nimeltään Koskelo Utön eteläpuolelta. #yhteistyö #meriraja

And again, just to see how truly mind-blowingly gobsmackingly bananas current global sea surface temperatures are, here is the graph of global sea surface temperatures with the year 2023 omitted.

Excited to announce this 3-yr post doc position to work in @ERC_Research Synergy WHIRLS project - the impacts of ocean fine-scale whirls on climate and ecosystems. This will connect with other PIs @SabOceano, @NisotopesUCT, @kieloben. Read more at link! web103.reachmee.com/ext/I005/1035/…

GROOM II national focal points have gathered at @NOCnews for the final general Assembly of the GROOM-II project. We do converge on the design of an European MRI focused on Marine Autonomous Systems that would meet the Grand Challenges faced by the Ocean Observing community.

@PedrowSan @_abosse_ @FMI_Marine @FINMARI1 @Groom2RI @Tvarminne Happy to answer. Maybe you’ll have answers to our? 🤔

#Koskelo is back. Amazing things occured also during this mission. Gliders don’t disappoint. @FMI_Marine @FINMARI1 @Groom2RI @Tvarminne #Slocum #GulfofFinland #fishing #trawlers

@_abosse_ @FMI_Marine @FINMARI1 @Groom2RI @Tvarminne It’s a Soundtrap, which we tested.

@K_tikka @FMI_Marine @FINMARI1 @Groom2RI @Tvarminne What sensor is it carrying at the top?

We are pleased to… how I love x, when I cannot correct typos.

We are please to be in @Tvarminne again. Both #Uivelo and #Koskelo working again. @FMI_Marine @FINMARI1 @Groom2RI @Tvarminne #Slocum

#Uivelo safely on its way back home after measuring 23 days in the Lågskär Deep. Only once we thought we had lost it. Many thanks for the Coastal Guard of kind help. @FMI_Marine @tuomi_laura @FINMARI1 @rajavartijat @visitaland @Groom2RI #WaterExchange #AlandSea #BalticSea

A peaceful morning in Åland. Today we will recover Uivelo. @visitaland #Mariehamn #Kastelholm

#Koskelo ‘s 490 km/27 days mission BS20232 in the #BothnianSea is over. Thanks for the cooperation #Susiluoto Coastal Guards. @FMI_Marine @FINMARI1 @rajavartijat

It’s early morning and we are on the road, again. This time #Koskelo is already waiting off Isokari, Kustavi. @FMI_Marine @FINMARI1 @Groom2RI #BothianSea #WaterExchange #slocum

@possibilize @FMI_Marine @FINMARI1 I use AIS traffic density layers provided by EMONEDnet Human activities. And also MarineTraffic (realtime) and Finnish Traficom service.

@K_tikka @FMI_Marine @FINMARI1 great work in a complex environment! Marine traffic ship density plots are a godsend In our Great Barrier Reef work we make semi transparent overlays of them to Place over our piloting map Did you add the chart layer to your SFMC or is it the standard one?

Our two gliders glider fleet active, again. This time simultaneously with RV Aranda's cruise. @FMI_Marine @FINMARI1 #Uivelo #Koskelo #WaterExchange #BalticSea #BothnianSea #AlandSea #Aranda #Slocum

A little more than halfway through #MSM121, deploying moorings and PIES and making CTD/LADCP measurements. Follow the activities here: epoc.blogs.uni-hamburg.de/epoc-expeditio… @EpocProject
