Salmon fishermen are collecting data near fishing spots and along transit routes as part of the new Southeast Alaska Trolling Vessel Ocean Measurement program. The Alaska Trollers Association leads the project in partnership with AOOS, Alaska Sea Grant, and UAF. 

This spring, gliders named Shackleton and Gretel traveled hundreds of miles monitoring a series of hydrographic stations known as the Seward Line in the Northern Gulf of Alaska. The autonomous underwater vehicles transmit data to the AOOS Data Portal in near-real time.

The Skipper Science Partnership enables fishermen to log marine weather, oceanic conditions, fishing patterns, and biological observations while they are at sea.

Effective July 1, 2023, Alaska Public Media will no longer assemble and distribute the daily ‘Alaska Weather’ television program. To continue support to users, NWS will continue to produce graphics and record a modified web-based version of the program.

From March – June 2023, AOOS will again be contributing weekly forecasts of surface currents and sea ice movement to the Sea Ice for Walrus Outlook (SIWO) program.

AOOS is looking for a contractor to develop a web-based application for the Mariner’s Dashboards (Prince William Sound, Cook Inlet and Kodiak) that can serve as a prototype that is used to solicit feedback for future development of a native (iOS and Android) application.

Projects measuring the ocean currents around Wainwright, Point Barrow and Cape Simpson, as well as recording and analyzing whale and walrus sounds in the Arctic, are receiving new funding for equipment updates.
