As previously summarized by Hammond et al. (2015), from 1983 to 2013, the NOAA Vents program conducted systematic and multidisciplinary exploration, discovery, and research related to hydrothermal vents, submarine volcanic eruptions, and associated ocean physical, chemical, and biological processes. In 2014, Vents divided into two programs, Earth-Ocean Interactions (EOI) and Acoustics, and considered a broader range of questions about how seafloor and subseafloor processes contribute to ocean health, biogeochemical cycles, ecosystem diversity, and climate change. Here, we highlight major accomplishments since 2014, including deep-sea technologies that EOI, Vents, and Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) Engineering have developed to advance marine science. EOI research is driven by a need for better observational data on issues of global importance, including the role of continental margin seeps in the global methane/carbon cycle, benthic ecology, and fisheries habitat; the role of hydrothermal systems in global biogeochemical cycles, including carbon dioxide removal; the potential impact of deep-sea mining of metal sulfides on ecosystem services provided by hydrothermal vents; and how hydrothermal iron functions as an essential nutrient. NOAA Ocean Exploration, the Schmidt Ocean Institute, the Ocean Exploration Trust, and the National Science Foundation have supported and collaborated in this work. Global exploration of the deep sea with the purpose of understanding global ocean processes remains a cornerstone of EOI science.

For over two decades, NOAA’s Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) has been developing and deploying autonomous ocean carbon measurement technologies. PMEL currently maintains a network of air-sea CO2 and ocean acidification time series measurements on 33 surface buoys, including the world’s longest record of air-sea CO2 measured from a buoy. These sites are located in every ocean basin and in a variety of ecosystems, from coastal to open ocean and sub-polar to tropical. The network provides more than half of today’s ocean carbonate chemistry time-series records that qualify as long-term, publicly available, and collected at subseasonal timescales. Here, we briefly review the motivation for establishing the network, the research and applications made possible from the observations, and how sustained autonomous time series generate unique information about a changing ocean needed to inform mitigation and adaptation approaches in a changing world.

The ocean is warming, acidifying, and losing oxygen. The Global Ocean Ship-based Hydrographic Investigations Program (GO-SHIP) carries out repeat hydrographic surveys along specified transects throughout all ocean basins to allow accurate and precise quantification of changes in variables such as temperature, salinity, carbon, oxygen, nutrients, velocity, and anthropogenic tracers, and uses these observations to understand ventilation patterns, deoxygenation, heat uptake, ocean carbon content, and changes in circulation. GO-SHIP provides global, full-depth, gold-standard data for model validation and calibration of autonomous sensors, including Argo. The Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory, through sustained funding from NOAA, has developed methods to measure several of the variables routinely sampled through GO-SHIP and is a core contributor to these repeat hydrographic cruises.

The NOAA Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) Ocean Climate Stations (OCS) project provides in situ measurements for quantifying air-sea interactions that couple the ocean and atmosphere. The project maintains two OceanSITES surface moorings in the North Pacific, one at the Kuroshio Extension Observatory in the Northwest Pacific subtropical recirculation gyre and the other at Station Papa in the Northeast Pacific subpolar gyre. OCS mooring time series are used as in situ references for assessing satellite and numerical weather prediction models. A spinoff of the PMEL Tropical Atmosphere Ocean (TAO) project, OCS moorings have acted as “research aggregating devices.” Working with and attracting wide-ranging partners, OCS scientists have collected process-oriented observations of variability on diurnal, synoptic, seasonal, and interannual timescales associated with anthropogenic climate change. Since 2016, they have worked to expand, test, and verify the observing capabilities of uncrewed surface vehicles and to develop observing strategies for integrating these unique, wind-powered observing platforms within the tropical Pacific and global ocean observing system. PMEL OCS has been at the center of the UN Decade of Ocean Sciences for Sustainable Development (2021–2030) effort to develop an Observing Air-Sea Interactions Strategy (OASIS) that links an expanded network of in situ air-sea interaction observations to optimized satellite observations, improved ocean and atmospheric coupling in Earth system models, and ultimately improved ocean information across an array of essential climate variables for decision-makers. This retrospective highlights not only achievements of the PMEL OCS project but also some of its challenges.

Over the last 50 years, the landscape of marine data management has been transformed. Previously, each research project held its data privately and managed them as local files on disk; today, it is standard practice to share data collaboratively over the internet, often integrated with web tools that provide a global community of scientists with ready access to data analysis and visualization. NOAA Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) developers and data managers have made and continue to make pivotal contributions toward this evolution. This article examines contributions that include a community-wide standard for metadata storage (e.g., climate and forecast [CF] metadata conventions), a widely used desktop computer tool (PyFerret), a pioneering web server providing visualization and analysis of distributed data (Live Access Server), tailor-made data management systems for uncrewed ocean platforms, and new developments in applications of machine learning to data quality control. We also describe the evolution of in-house PMEL data management, from PMEL developed tools to an open-science, interoperable data approach.

The accumulation of anthropogenic CO2 in the ocean has major ecological, socioeconomic, and biogeochemical impacts, with repercussions for the ocean as a critical carbon sink. Ocean acidification (OA) disproportionally affects marine calcifiers, among which pelagic zooplanktonic pteropods play a significant role in carbonate export. The pteropod, due to the susceptibility of its aragonite shell to rapid dissolution, is one of most vulnerable groups and a key indicator for OA regional monitoring, but its regional sensitivities have not yet been extrapolated over global scales. To delineate spatial and temporal changes in pteropod shell dissolution, global OA status and the OA rate of change were evaluated, based on gridded climatologies of observations and using a Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS) biogeochemical/ecosystem model. Pteropods dominate in the polar and upwelling regions characterized by low aragonite saturation state and low buffering capacity, where extended pteropod subsurface dissolution is projected. We show that pteropods are most susceptible to OA in the polar regions, subpolar North Pacific, and eastern boundary upwelling system regions, particularly the California and Humboldt Current Systems. Rates of acidification and corresponding increases in pteropod shell dissolution are projected to be the fastest in the North and South Equatorial Currents.

Ecosystems & Fisheries-Oceanography Coordinated Investigations (EcoFOCI) is a joint research program between the NOAA Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory and the Alaska Fisheries Science Center (AFSC). FOCI was established by NOAA in 1984 to study the variability in recruitment success of commercially valuable fin and shellfish in Alaskan waters. The project initially studied walleye pollock (Gadus chalcogrammus) in the context of western Gulf of Alaska oceanography and meteorology. Transitioning from FOCI to EcoFOCI, the program broadened into ecosystem research in the North Pacific and US Arctic (including climate), drawing on multiple scientific disciplines, and continuing to match NOAA scientists with academic colleagues working at NOAA’s cooperative institutes and other universities. EcoFOCI is an authoritative provider of scientific information that supports decision-making and environmental stewardship in Alaskan marine ecosystems through collaborative partnerships, innovation, and scientific integrity. Here, we discuss the origins of EcoFOCI and highlight a few of the scientific accomplishments of the program in understanding the drivers and impacts of long-term oceanographic trends, as well as extreme and episodic events, in the Gulf of Alaska and Aleutian Island ecosystems.
