NSF Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI) & SOEST/Ocean/PO
Who in SOEST/Ocean/PO is currently involved?
Some opportunities for additional involvement/funding.
How can SOEST prepare for these opportunities?
Caveat: Do we understand what we’re getting into?
Briefly: What is the OOI? & Why do we need it?

Global: 3 sites (was 11)
Regional: 5 nodes (was 9)
Coastal: 2 sites (was 6)
But … the fewer sites have more infrastructure and sensors ...

Continuous, rapid, temporal sampling over long time periods.
Command and control; adaptive sampling.
Event detection and rapid response.
Simultaneous deployment of arrays of multi-disciplinary sensors over long periods of time.
Deployment of power hungry sensors for long time periods.
4-D obs of variables & processes over long periods of time.

Impacts: vertical nutrient fluxes stratification maintenance thermohaline circulation
Many processes contribute. Action occurs near topography. Action occurs on small time scales and is highly episodic. So, need:
sustained observations temporal & vertical resolution
full-depth profiling horizontal delineation
gliders; moorings multiple environments
smooth; hilly; scarps shallow & deep
adaptive sampling
Sub-epipelagic Diapycnal Mixing

SOEST/Ocean/PO Involvement in OOI Infrastructure:
Roger Lukas and Bruce Howe - Cabled Mooring w/Profilers
![Page 10: NSF Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI) & SOEST/Ocean/PO](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815931550346895dc664c5/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
SOEST/Ocean/PO Involvement in OOI Infrastructure:
Bruce Howe - gliders with acoustic modems
5+ gliders needed at each of 5 C-GSN sites.

SOEST Potential Involvement in OOI O&M:
Glider operations
ADCP QA/QC
![Page 13: NSF Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI) & SOEST/Ocean/PO](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815931550346895dc664c5/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
How Should SOEST Prepare?
Glider facility should be nurtured and generate a documented performance record.
To compete for awards for constructing infrastructure, such as gliders, or instruments, ESF needs to be strengthened, with clearly defined and well-regarded operating procedures, and scheduling & cost control.
To bolster claim that we can handle continuous streams of data, providing QA/QC 24/7, the HIOOIS DMAC facility must be fully functional and successful.
Be prepared for cost matching …
