CMS periodically deploys a scientific mooring at the Wrigley Institute of Environment Studies (WIES) near Two Harbors, Santa Catalina Island. The project is intended to measure biologically imported data over many years and is discussed in the first issue of OceanBights.
The pilot project was deemed successful, and a new program, the Catalina Dynamic Ocean Chemistry (CDOC or "sea-doc") using more modern sensors, is ongoing since 2018.
UPDATE: The pilot project at WIES has ended with 11 data-collecting deployments. Data will be quality checked and analyzed. The sonde is now used in a depth-profiling project.
