#Aoml Oceanographic Studies

NOAA's Atlantic Oceanographic & Meteorological Laboratory (AOML) is taking over the NOAA Research platforms this week! AOML studies hurricanes, coastal ecosystems, and chemical and physical oceanography. Our laboratory is located in Miami, FL but we conduct research across the world! Follow along this week to learn a little more about the exciting work we do in support of NOAA’s mission!

Hurricane scientists at our NOAA Cooperative institute for Marine and Atmospheric Studies, are making great strides to improve forecast accuracy which ultimately saves lives and property. In partnership with our colleagues at NOAA’s Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML) we are meeting the challenges head on and furthering our knowledge of hurricanes and the science. #hurricaneseason #hurricanescience #hurricanehunters

This week, the Coral team at NOAA’s Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML) is onsite, surveying Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary and they are taking over our social media feed! 🪸 Flower Garden Banks is one of the many U.S. Atlantic reefs within the National Coral Reef Monitoring Program (NCRMP). Even though these reefs are mesophotic, they boast an impressive coral cover of up to 52% and support a range of valuable commercial and recreational species. 🦞🐟🦐 In partnership with the Coral Reef Conservation Program, AOML leads the NCRMP surveys across the Atlantic every three years at coral reefs throughout the Florida Keys and Dry Tortugas, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and FGBNMS‼️ To learn more about the Flower Garden Banks mesophotic reefs and past research on the influence of eddies in these unique ecosystems, click the link in our bio. 🔗 To learn more about the surveys Coral Program scientists are doing this week, check out our stories and posts Tuesday through Thursday. 👀 Video Credit: NOAA/National Marine Sanctuaries and Emma Hickerson/NOAA, in collaboration with The Ocean Agency

As in other US IOOS regions exposed to hurricanes and typhoons, CARICOOS, in collaboration with NOAA/AOML, has commenced the deployment of hurricane gliders in PR and USVI waters. Ocean salinity and temperature data collected by them provide for more accurate hurricane forecasts. #WorldOceanMonth #OceanDataDay #DataBelowtheSurface #IOOS #hurricaneseason2025

JOB OPPORTUNITY: Research Associate - Environmental Monitoring Coordinator at Mission Iconic Reef Sites (University of Miami) The University of Miami’s Cooperative Institute of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences (CIMAS) is in need of a Research Associate I to lead and oversee the development and execution of environmental monitoring at Mission Iconic Reef (MIR) sites. The successful applicant will work with a diverse team of scientists, postdocs, and students at NOAA and UM laboratories in Miami, Florida as part of the Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory’s (AOML) Coral Program. The successful candidate will play a key role in coordinating the deployment of monitoring equipment, data collection, integration, and analysis, contributing to our understanding of marine ecosystem changes in response to environmental trends.

🐬🔬 Un estudio pionero realizado con los delfines del Oceanogràfic ha validado por primera vez un método no invasivo para medir hormonas relacionadas con el estrés y el bienestar a través de su piel. Este avance nos permite obtener información científica que no sería posible recopilar en el medio natural con este nivel de precisión y seguimiento. 🧫 Las muestras se obtienen mediante un suave raspado de la piel, gracias al entrenamiento con refuerzo positivo, lo que hace posible un seguimiento continuado. Este conocimiento es esencial, ya que una validación así sería muy difícil de realizar en poblaciones silvestres, donde el control de cada individuo resulta limitado. El método abre nuevas vías para aplicarlo a delfines en su medio natural y conocer cómo influyen factores ambientales como la contaminación o el tráfico marítimo en su equilibrio 🌊. 🤝 La investigación ha sido desarrollada por Clara Agustí, Oriol Talló y Xavier Manteca del Grupo de Etología y Bienestar Animal (@uabbarcelona), con participación de la Fundación Oceanogràfic y la Universidad de Murcia (@umu), y publicada en la revista científica Animals (@mdpiopenaccess ). Este avance refuerza el papel de la investigación desde centros como el Oceanogràfic y su Fundación para mejorar el bienestar y la conservación de los cetáceos. #Oceanogràfic #Cetáceos #Delfines

The pack ice is fragile, thin and receding.. for the bears here once it melts it’s gone…. Where will they go? #oceangeographic #bigace2025 #voicesforthevoiceless #ClimateChange #ClimateCrisis #arctic @oceangeographic

🩵🌊 Join us in celebrating ocean month all throughout June! From NOAA’s Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML) to NOAA’s Southeast Fisheries Science Center, the ocean is a common thread uniting CIMAS researchers. Stay tuned to AOML’s social media and website for a series of web stories each week of June that explore topics like the ocean’s influence on hurricane formation, ocean acidification, and the cutting-edge technologies driving oceanographic research.

Something Wrong With Google Earth – Part 139 “The Black Triangle That Reappears Every Year” ▲🌊🛰️ In the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, thousands of miles from any land, Google Earth shows something terrifying: A perfectly dark triangle, three kilometers on each side. Appears at the same coordinates every year around June. Disappears completely in other months, leaving calm, empty ocean behind. Water surrounding the triangle seems unnaturally still — no waves, no reflection. --- 🌊 Why This Triangle Is Unexplainable: ✔ Edges are razor-sharp, perfectly geometric ✔ Appears consistently in satellite images from multiple providers ✔ No shipping, no submerged volcanoes, no known underwater structures ✔ Oceanographic studies report unusual magnetic readings in the area ✔ Older nautical charts show no anomalies at all Theories: 1. Underwater military testing — secret vessels or weapon experiments 2. Submerged alien structure — a triangular megastructure under the waves 3. Natural anomaly — a rare optical phenomenon or oil/mineral deposit 4. Satellite artifact — unlikely, as multiple satellites capture it Some call it: “The Ocean Triangle.” Others call it: “The Phantom Polygon.” No one knows why it returns every year — or what it’s hiding beneath the waves. --- 💬 Want Part 140 — a massive, glowing serpent-like formation in the Arctic Ocean that stretches over 10 km? Comment “NEXT!” 📍 Follow @mapifyworld for more Google Earth mysteries, ocean anomalies, and unexplained satellite phenomena. . . . #GoogleEarth #OceanMystery #BlackTriangle #MapifyWorld #UnexplainedPhenomena #SatelliteAnomalies #PhantomPolygon #EarthMysteries #fyp #explorepage

How to age a fish Otoliths, also known as ear stones, are calcified structures within the fish's head and serve critical roles in balance and sound detection. These structures are composed primarily of calcium carbonate and grow incrementally throughout the fish’s life, depositing alternating opaque and translucent bands corresponding to periods of rapid and slow growth, respectively. The opaque zones generally form during warmer months when growth is faster, while the translucent zones form during colder months or periods of limited resource availability. To determine the age of a fish, otoliths are carefully extracted, cleaned, and processed, either through sectioning or polishing, to reveal these growth bands. Under a microscope, the annual rings are counted, providing precise age estimates. Otolith-based age determination is widely used in fisheries science for population dynamics modelling, stock assessment, and ecological studies, offering valuable insights into growth rates, longevity, and the environmental history encoded within the otolith’s chemical composition. #fish #fishing #fishingaustralia #science #ocean #westernaustralia #nature
