Realtime data from the OOI instruments at Axial Seamount
The maps below show the locations of four Bottom Pressure/Tilt (BOTPT) instruments at Axial Seamount, part of the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI) Regional Cabled Array (RCA) seafloor observatory, operated by the University of Washington. Click on the "DATA" links (below right) to see plots of near-real-time data (updated every 15 minutes) from the 4 BOTPT instruments and 4 seafloor CTD instruments. The BOTPT instruments were built by NOAA's Pacific Marine Environmental Lab and Oregon State University. Follow our attempts to use the BOTPT data to forecast the next eruption -> HERE and using the "INFLATION FORECAST" links below. Information on our previous expeditions to Axial Seamount is available -> HERE.
