Profiler moorings on the RSN

Profiler moorings on the RSN

Location of high power and bandwidth moorings with profiling capabilities on the RSN. One mooring will be placed at the base of Axial Seamount, providing measurements key to examining flow over rough topography, El Nino and La Nina events, and the Pacific Decadal Oscillation. A second mooring will be located at the base of the accretionary margin outboard from Hydrate Ridge. This mooring forms an array with three surface and three subsurface (two of which are cabled to the RSN) moorings that are part of the Coastal Scale Endurance Array.
