Four TideRiders built during 2025 field season were deployed in either West Falmouth Harbor or Onset Bay every week from mid-June to mid-August. The units were constructed and operated by local high school students Erik Gulmann and Ray Zhang. Dissolved oxygen data from deployments has been calibrated and submitted to Buzzards Bay Coalition to run through their QC pipeline, along with vehicle positioning data. The team’s ability to pilot the units steadily improved during the summer, which led to longer and longer deployments.
