OCEAN EXPLORATION TALK
What does NOAA stand for ?
NOAA stands for National oceanic atmosphere administration.
How much bigger is NASA'S budget than NOAA's ?
1600 times more money than NOAA's.
Why do we not have good maps of the ocean ?
have not visited it yet.
How much of the united states lies beneath sea?
50%
on a good day how many people are in deep sea?
4-5
the mid ocean ridge covers how much of the earths surface?
23%
why does most of our planet not feel the warmth of the sun?
Maybe because the sweat covers you with water.
what did they find in the deep ocean?
12,000 ft
what is telepresence?
real time robotic
what is the okeanos explorer?(whats its mission)
get a navy ship
how will it run?
nuclear submarine (24 hr shifts)
what do you think about living in sea?
I think it will be cool because you would be able to see fishes and dolphins even though it will cost a bunch.
conclusion:
I think that we should know more about our planet then others cause what if something happens
we will all be in danger.

California Current Ecosystem and Long-Term Educational Research
Cruise Blog Worksheet.
CCE LTER Cruise: Day 1, I’m on a boat!
1: Click on the California Current Ecosystem link- read about about the research site. Why are scientists particularly interested in this specific site? Why is it special?
2: What is the name of the research vessel that they are on? Which educational institution is the vessel a part of?
3: How much does the ship weigh when it is fully loaded?
Day 3, Releasing the MOCNESS
4: On day #3, read about zooplankton are captured by the MOCNESS- summarize the process below:
5: Explain the “vertical migration” of many zooplankton species. Why do they do this?
6: What are phytoplankton?
CCE LTER Cruise: Day 6, SeaSoaring Away….
7: What information is collected by the SeaSoar? What are they trying to find specifically?
8: What is CTD stand for?
CCE LTER Cruise: Day 10, Ahoy E- Front
9: What is the “E- Front”?
10: Why does the sampling need to be conducted at night?
11: What is the epipelagic zone?
12: These samples were taken along the E-Front- Can you tell where the actual front is located?
13: Explain how the chlorophyll samples are preserved.
CCE LTER Cruise: Day 12, Team Oozkeki
14: Where is the mesopelagic zone? Why are the critters
found here so special?
CCE LTER Cruise: Day 14, Shrunken Cups 15: Explain why styrofoam cups that were attached to the CTD shrunk when they were lowered CCE LTER Cruise: Day 19, Trace Metal Group16: Why is iron so important to phytoplankton?
17: What kind of precautions are taken by the scientists on board to make sure that the water samples are not contaminated by
metals on or around the ship?
CCE LTER Cruise: Day 21,Twinkle little Scat
17: How can scientists use “poop” to determine the biomass of an ecosystem? Explain.
18: What is “marine snow”? Explain how it is collected.
CCE LTER Cruise: Day 24, Marine Birds
19: Explain how long-lining is dangerous to marine birds to the depths.20: Describe Fin Whales- what do they look like, what do they eat, why are they not hunted as
much as other whales?
CCE LTER Cruise: Day 26, Copepods…
21: What are copepods? What are they related to?
22: Explain the two ways that copepods are studied on this ship.
CCE LTER Cruise: Day 29, Last Day…
23: What is the bow dome? Where is it located?
24: Would you be interested in spending a month at sea? Does a career in oceanography seem interesting?

Sound In The Ocean
Explain how SOUND travels. (What kind of wave?)
Explain the SOFAR channel
Explain how marine organisms may use sound in the ocean (Voices in the Sea)
Explain how people use sound (sonar) in the ocean (military, exploration)
Watch video and explain how SONAR is used to map the ocean floor
