Abstract
Get Engaged with the Ocean Observatories Initiative
Highlights
The Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI) is an open community resource supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF) (Smith et al, 2018, this issue)
OOI data have a wide range of possible applications, only some of which could be represented in this special issue of Oceanography
Researchers who require additional instrumentation of a specific type should contact the OOI project manager or project scientists to see if replicates can be arranged, or include the instrumentation request in an NSF proposal
Summary
The Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI) is an open community resource supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF) (Smith et al, 2018, this issue). Free access is provided to all OOI data through online interfaces (Vardaro and McDonnell, 2018, in this issue). Independent of an NSF-funded project, individual scientists can use OOI data to address specific scientific hypotheses, or to augment existing research projects. Publicly accessible OOI data can provide key resources for model simulations, as well as data to augment shipboard research or field research projects. Scientists conducting research in the regional domains of the OOI are encouraged to consider these opportunities and reach out to OOI staff to discuss how their research may be included in OOI cruise opportunities. The OOI will grow, change, and reach its full utility as it is shaped by input from its user community. We summarize some of the ways to interact with the OOI and its data
