Activities

18-19 May 2009
CCE Annual Meeting: The CCE annual meeting took place at SIO. On 18 May results from the recently completed graduate student process cruise were highlighted, together with some results from the A-front study in October 2008 (on CCE-P0908). On 19 May updates of different program elements were presented. Preliminary discussions addressed themes for our renewal proposal, forthcoming in late 2009. (pdf)
13-14 May 2009
LTER Science Council Meeting: CCE hosted the 2009 U.S. LTER Network Science Council Meeting, which was attended by representatives from each U.S. LTER site, the Network Office, and the National Advisory Board. The meeting venue was the La Jolla Shores hotel, though there was a half day 'field trip' to the SIO pier where a variety of different seagoing measurement methods were highlighted, capped off by two overviews of CCE modeling activities.

Graduate Student Process Cruise: A student-initiated, student-run cruise took place in the primary CCE study region off line 80. A science party of 15, including graduate students, a postdoc, SRA, and several capable volunteers carried out experiments on 2 Lagrangian "cycles" and completed a study of an upwelling front.
21 February 2009
Birch Aquarium at Scripps Family Day Event highlighting the LTER children's book "Sea Secrets: Tiny Clues to a Big Mystery". Activities at the book signing event with author Beth Simmons and artist, illustrator Kirsten Carlson focus on two ocean ecosystems - the California Current and Palmer Station, Antarctica - and include a story book nook, field artifact displays, and lessons on how to draw marine animals.
18 January 2009
CCE LTER Forum (No. 4), SIO, La Jolla, CA Participants will present and discuss data and analysis of an intensively sampled feature called 'A-front Study' from the recent LTER CCE-P0810 process cruise (30 Sep - 29 Oct 2008).
15-19 Dec 2008 American Geophysical Union Fall Annual Meeting in San Francisco. A cross-institutional informatics led initiative with three sessions titled 'Strategies for Improved Marine and Synergistic Data Access and Interoperability' was held (co-organizers: C.Chandler, K.Baker, and J.Graybeal). Oral presentations by CCE related participants K.Baker and S.Jackson.
15-16 December 2008

10 November 2008
CCE-1 interdisciplinary ocean mooring deployed. A cooperative effort between Mark Ohman, Uwe Send, Chris Sabine, Dave Demer, and John Hildebrand led to the deployment of a deep water mooring in the CCE study site. Located 250 kilometers southwest of Point Conception at CalCOFI station 80.80, which is also a CCE cardinal station located along a Spray ocean glider line, this 4,000 meter instrumented mooring will enable resolution of event-scale changes in the CCE site. News and the web site provide description of the mooring and access to data.

Summer 2008
CCE LTER hosted five undergraduate interns (REUs 2008), who worked in SIO research labs for 10 weeks (late June - early September). They worked on a wide variety of CCE-related science components, and were mentored by CCE PIs, as well as advised by graduate students and post docs. Informal lunches were held on alternate Fridays to discuss their research and to promote dialogue between everyone involved. ( pdf )
25 July 2008
CCE diel water column sampling for fish is being extended spatially. Pete Davison's participation on a NOAA SWFSC Marine Mammal Survey cruise (July-Dec) provides sampling within the CalCOFI sampling region in coordination with the third CCE LTER process cruise planned for October. Use of diel-migrating biomass, ingestion and egestion rate measurements from the CCE cruise will be used with community composition and trawl capture efficiency measurements from cruises with EK60 acoustic data collection as a multi-platform sampling strategy for ecological modeling.
25 July 2008
CCE LTER Forum (No. 2), SIO, La Jolla, CA
