The Office of Naval Research is supporting a five-year department research initiative to better understand the turbulent eddy exchange throughout this region, and on the class of oceanographic variability that is poorly constrained in models including eddies, rings, vortices and filaments, and their interactions with smaller-scale phenomena

Answering the call to help build and strengthen international partnerships, the Office of Naval Research and ONR Global have increased scientific cooperation with the Indian government in recent weeks.

The Marine Mammals and Biology (MMB) program supports basic and applied research and technology development related to understanding the effects of sound on marine mammals, including physiological, behavioral, ecological and population-level effects.

ONR requests proposals to develop capabilities and components for the "Arctic Mobile Observing System", an Innovative Naval Prototype Program or INP, which is expected to run from FY19-FY23.

As sea ice continues to recede at a record pace in the Arctic, officials at the Office of Naval Research (ONR) today announced new efforts to determine the pace of change in what some are calling Earth’s final frontier.

After a six-year voyage on the high seas, research vessel (R/V) Roger Revelle is coming home to San Diego today.

BAA Call N0001425SBC02 Special Program Announcement for Office of Naval Research Research Opportunity: Neutralization In Challenging Environments Using Lethal Effects (NICELE)

A dynamic era in naval oceanography recently ended as the iconic Floating Instrument Platform — popularly known as FLIP — was officially retired from service. Built in 1962 with funding from the Office of Naval Research (ONR), FLIP helped generations of scientists and oceanographers better understand the mysteries of the sea, including internal waves, air-sea interaction and long-range sound propagation. Sadly, age and exorbitant life-extension costs resulted in the platform being disestablished. On Aug. 3, a solemn gathering of well-wishers watched as FLIP was towed, at sunset, to a dismantling and recycling facility. Last month, a formal good-bye ceremony was hosted by the Marine Physical Laboratory at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD). Though retired, FLIP will live on at Scripps. One of its booms (crane-like arms for suspending instruments) will be installed on the Scripps research pier in La Jolla and used to deploy instruments. Also, artifacts from the platform will be displayed in a permanent exhibit at Scripps’ Birch Aquarium.
