@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

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

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!

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 )

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

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

@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.

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: go.nasa.gov/2vtaC3w #Earth #NASA4Earth #EarthDay2018

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

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

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
