Ocean Vision AI is leveraging artificial intelligence and machine learning to advance our ability to process underwater imagery. This initiative paves the way for creating reproducible data pipelines for running and validating models while engaging with non-experts to enhance ocean literacy. Ocean Vision AI has recently developed an open-source database for annotating ocean imagery on […]

The Synchro project website has launched. Synchro is a co-design test bed to synchronize and evolve solutions for industry, ocean science and conservation. Testing and evaluation hurdles often hinder the adoption of innovative equipment. Synchro aims to bridge this gap, facilitating cost-effective testing and evaluation of oceanographic equipment. Learn more about our mission and partnerships […]

Marine Heatwaves The following marine heatwave images were computed following the method in Hobday et al. (2016), slightly altered for the CCS, using both the WCOFS model output and forecast and the historical run of the West Coast ROMS. WCOFS is run by NOAA CO-OPS operationally. West Coast ROMS is run as a research model […]

The Coastal Upwelling Transport Index (CUTI, pronounced “cutie”) and the Biological Effective Upwelling Transport Index (BEUTI, pronounced “beauty”) are two new west coat upwelling indices. The indices are derived using ocean models, satellite data, and in situ data. CUTI provides estimates of vertical transport near the coast. It was developed as a more accurate alternative […]
