OD11A:
Ocean Observatory Science: Unprecedented Access to the Sea I


Session ID#: 11438

Session Description:
The realization of integrated ocean observatories for ocean sciences has seen a steady emergence and maturation over the last few decades. From LEO 15, to VENUS and NEPTUNE, to the latest Ocean Observatories Initiative installations in both the Pacific and Atlantic, research-based ocean observatories are providing advanced, comprehensive systems for studying the ocean, atmosphere, and seafloor. Most observatories include the integration of off-the-shelf technologies and instruments, opportunities for real-time interactive investigation, mobile and fixed assets, various numerical model over-lays, and sophisticated data interaction tools for enhanced data exploration. This session welcomes presentations on all aspects of ocean observatory science, from historic mining of long time series, to the latest technological innovations. Papers dealing with interdisciplinary cross-cutting science are particularly encouraged.
