NOAA A16S delayed from Dec 2024 until late 2025 (Ronald Brown).
P04E is likely in late 2025 / early 2026.

For updated cruise plans see our planning table.

Austral Summer A16S along ~30°W

Leaving from Brazil in fall 2024, the NOAA Ship Ronald H. Brown will extend the A16N completed early this year occupying stations from 6°N to 60°S in the South Atlantic. This will be the 3rd full occupation of this line.  Stay tuned for the blog and weekly reports!

I09N along ~95°E

2025 reoccupation of the Indian Ocean I09N hydrographic section. After first filling a gap left by the 2024 I08S occupation (~33.5°- 30.5°S), I09N will extend northward along the 95°E meridian into the Bay of Bengal to 18°N. Stay tuned for the blog and weekly reports!
