NOC News Round Up - 14 October 2016

Stormy seas - no problem for our intrepid gliders!

The fleet of ten marine robots deployed three weeks ago off the coast of North West Scotland has successfully completed its ambitious mission, despite being hit by a succession of Atlantic storms with winds gusting up to 60 mph and waves up to 7 m high. The mission comprised the largest simultaneous deployment of marine robots yet attempted in UK waters, with seven submarine gliders and three surface Wave Gliders operating in challenging waters around the Outer Hebrides.

The robot fleet was collecting a variety of marine environmental data including ocean temperature, salinity, oxygen, turbidity, tidal currents, and surface weather and wave conditions. While the robots were taking a battering from the weather, the mission pilots and scientists were safe and warm operating the fleet via satellite from the comfort of dedicated operations rooms!

Read more about the Exploring Ocean Fronts project here.

One of the submarine glider's being recovered, accompanied by a rare Atlantic Wreckfish - possibly one of the first photographs of this species in its natural habitat in UK waters!

NOC ships as far as the eye can see

Well, as far as you can see out of the NOC Southampton canteen window anyway! Both RRS Discovery and RRS James Cook have been in Southampton this week mobilising for seismic trials in Tenerife and an investigation into the distribution of rare earth elements in the Azores respectively. The expedition aims to better understand what controls the distribution of these elements, essential for low carbon technologies, by examining the conditions that allowed them to form.

Ada Lovelace Day

A packed Ada Lovelace Day networking event was held at the NOC as part of an international celebration of the achievements of women in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM). This event was run alongside the unveiling of a mosaic image of Ishbel Campbell – an inspirational figure for women in science - made from a collage of selfies of women from the NOC and the University of Southampton.
