Glider Monitors Subsurface Red Tide
A glider is monitoring the large subsurface Karenia brevis bloom off the Gulf coast of Florida, providing information on the bloom's concentration and movement. While satellite remote sensing can monitor an algal bloom at the surface, University of South Florida’s glider, with funding from NOAA’s NCCOS, is sampling the entire water column, revealing that the concentration of algal cells is highest near the bottom. Glider data enables monitoring of the bloom’s position as it drifts toward shore as well as forecasting its future impact.

NASA Plans Flock of Satellites to Study Hurricanes
The CYclone Global Navigation Satellite System (CYGNSS), a group of eight small satellites, has been funded and designed to measure the intensity of tropical cyclones. CYGNSS satellites will gauge ocean surface winds in and near cyclonic eyes with the goal of improving hurricane intensity forecasts. The satellites are scheduled to launch in 2016.

Earth-Observing Instruments Added to Space Station
NASA plans to attach several external instruments designed to study the Earth to the International Space Station (ISS) over the coming decade, to study the Earth from a unique vantage point. ISS_RapidScat, to launch this month, will monitor ocean winds to support hurricane monitoring and weather and marine forecasting. Following that will be the Cloud-Aerosol Transport System (CATS) lidar instrument, which will measure clouds and airborne particles. Future instruments include the Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment III (SAGE III), and the Lightning Imaging Sensor (LIS).

Call for Abstracts
The goal of the 2015 Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill and Ecosystem Science Conference is to disseminate research results in the five years since the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Host Gulf of Mexico Research Initiative seeks abstracts answering the questions, "What have we learned, what does it mean, and how can it be used?" Abstract submission closes Oct. 3.
