Looking forward to these sunsets for the next few weeks 😍 a wonderful end to a very successful first day of #CE25007 Marine Institute Marine Institute Research Vessels EirOOS: Irish Ocean Observing System
We’re enjoying the rare days of sunshine on deck during the #CE25007 survey and gave a short intro to Marine Institute M6 #IMDBON buoy to 3 students on board. Doreen will use data from M6 & South Rockall Mooring for her MSc project Zdenek, our technician, shows them the CTD in hull.
New Vs. Old The M6 #IMDBON Marine Institute data buoy was successfully swapped out on the #CE25007 survey. This buoy will be out for 1 year providing essential data for Met Éireann along with 3 subsurface CTD microCATs to 750m depth for #oceanops
Only a few days left of the survey, enjoying the last few days of these sunsets, especially with the M6 on board😍 the 4pm-4am shift has its perks. EirOOS: Irish Ocean Observing System Marine Institute Marine Institute Research Vessels

Have a read of our Scientists@Sea blog 1 that Eva & I wrote- our first 3 days were filled with training on LanderPick. scientistsatsea.blogspot.com Marine Institute EirOOS: Irish Ocean Observing System Marine Institute Research Vessels
Our third and final Scientists at Sea blog from #CE25007 is live! Eva writes about our CTD casts and the chemistry done on the survey Marine Institute scientistsatsea.blogspot.com/2025/06/ocean-…
⁉️Have you watched our new EirOOS: Irish Ocean Observing System video yet? 💬There's great footage from the Marine Institute #AIMSIR surveys of the M6 data buoy deployment which supports Met Éireann forecasting and provides data for sea safety. 📽️youtube.com/watch?v=3JRhgb…
