Bioluminescent waves crash on Del Mar Beach in 21 Area on Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, California, May 1, 2020. The bioluminescence is caused by a group microscopic phytoplankton, also known as “red tide,” which is a large concentration of microorganisms in the water. During the day it can be seen as a reddish hue, and at night, when the organisms are disturbed by movement, they......

A Wirewalker, driven by waves and currents, sits at the ocean’s surface during a field campaign led by oceanographers from the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory. The Wirewalker was equipped with a variety of instruments to measure light, conductivity, temperature, depth, light and acoustic backscatter, and dissolved oxygen throughout the water column. The NRL study was focused on......
