The cabled coastal surface-piercing profiler (cCSPP) was delivered to the seafloor by ROPOS and placed roughly 12 meters due East of the medium-powered junction box MJ01C at the Oregon Shelf site, in 79 meters of water. The cylindrical sensor pod of the cCSPP (left side of image) will float freely in the water column after being released from the deployment cradle on the profiler base. Once powered up, the sensor pod will move up and down in the water column at least 4 times per day, taking samples continuously using the onboard CTD, oxygen, fluorometer, nitrate, AC-S, PAR sensor, spectral irradiance, and 3D water velocity sensors.   Photo Credit: NSF/UW/CSSF, Dive R1801, V14

An orange anemone clinging to the hydrophone cable at the Oregon Shelf site. The hydrophone was only deployed roughly a week before, so this anemone found the hard substrate and attached itself fairly quickly.   Photo Credit: NSF/UW/CSSF, Dive R1801, V14

Deployment of the 200m platform of the Endurance Oregon Offshore two-legged mooring, which will eventually host a winched shallow profiler and bioacoustic sonar instruments. Two mooring lines with seafloor anchors are attached to the sides of the platform (rather than the usual single mooring line) to add stability to the platform so it can act as the profiler base.
