Mooring operations of the Woods Hole Buoy Group for the Mid-Ocean Dynamics Experiment
(Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1975-09)From the introduction: The Mid-Ocean Dynamics Experiment was a long-term multi-institution effort to investigate meso-scale motions in the western North Atlantic Ocean. The Moored Array Project (Buoy Group) of the Woods ... -
Tow spectra from MODE
(Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1975-12)Towed sensor data from the main thermocline in the Sargasso Sea south of Bermuda during the Mid‐Ocean Dynamics Experiment are reported and compared with the Garrett and Munk internal wave model. The tows consisted of two ... -

Contact: bco-dmo-data@whoi.edu, 2018-12-07)This alongtrack data set contains information on environmental conditions for each day of the OC473 cruise, from 8/4/2011 to 9/1/2011. For a complete list of measurements, refer to the full dataset description in the ... -
Large changes in sea ice triggered by small changes in Atlantic water temperature
(American Meteorological Society, 2018-05-31)The sensitivity of sea ice to the temperature of inflowing Atlantic water across the Greenland–Scotland Ridge is investigated using an eddy-resolving configuration of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology General ... -
Resonance control of acoustic focusing systems through an environmental reference table and impedance spectroscopy
(Public Library of Science, 2018-11-14)Acoustic standing waves can precisely focus flowing particles or cells into tightly positioned streams for interrogation or downstream separations. The efficiency of an acoustic standing wave device is dependent upon ... -
The mineralogy and chemistry of modern shallow-water and deep-sea corals
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 2019-02)The architecture of coral reef ecosystems is composed of coral skeletons built from the mineral aragonite (CaCO3). Coral reefs are currently being threatened by ocean acidification (OA), which may lower calcification rates, ... -
Submarine deep‐water lava flows at the base of the western Galápagos Platform
(John Wiley & Sons, 2018-10-25)To investigate the initial phases of magmatism at the leading edge of the upwelling mantle plume, we mapped, photographed, and collected samples from two long, deep‐water lava flows located at the western base of the ... -
Structure and forcing of observed exchanges across the Greenland–Scotland Ridge
(American Meteorological Society, 2018-11-19)The Atlantic meridional overturning circulation and associated poleward heat transport are balanced by northern heat loss to the atmosphere and corresponding water-mass transformation. The circulation of northward-flowing ... -

Coral community structure at pooled random sites between Cabritte Horn and White Point in St. John before and after five hurricanes from 1988–2017
(Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO). Contact: bco-dmo-data@whoi.edu, 2018-12-05)These files contain data that support an analysis of the effects of two major hurricanes on coral reefs that have been extensively studied for more than three decades. Major tropical storms are destructive phenomena with ... -
Feeding dynamics of Northwest Atlantic small pelagic fishes
(2018-04)Small pelagic fishes represent a critical link between zooplankton and large predators. Yet, the taxonomic resolution of the diets of these important fishes is often limited, especially in the Northwest Atlantic. We ... -
MODE SOFAR float in situ data summary
(Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1974-06)Ten SOFAR floats were instrumented during the MODE field experiment to record pressure, temperature, and vertical water displacement during a four month drift. This report describes the acquisition and reduction of this ... -
How do baleen whales stow their filter? A comparative biomechanical analysis of baleen bending
(Company of Biologists, 2018-12-04)Bowhead and right whale (balaenid) baleen filtering plates, longer in vertical dimension (≥3–4 m) than the closed mouth, presumably bend during gape closure. This has not been observed in live whales, even with scrutiny ... -
