Special Issue on the Ocean Observatories Initiative
On the Cover: The Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI) is a National Science Foundation major research facility operated as a community resource, providing continuous delivery of ocean and seafloor data from the coast to the open ocean in the Atlantic and the Pacific. The map shows the locations of the seven OOI arrays (image credit: OOI Cabled Array program & the Center for Environmental Visualization, University of Washington). Inset photos show infrastructure from the Coastal, Global, and Cabled Arrays (clockwise from top): deployment of a Pioneer Array Coastal Surface Mooring from R/V Atlantis (credit: OOI Pioneer Array Program, WHOI); Irminger Sea Global Surface Mooring waits on the deck of R/V Knorr for deployment (credit: OOI Global Array Program, WHOI); Endurance Array Coastal Surface Mooring components await deployment (credit: OOI Global Array Program, OSU); digital still camera deployed on Axial Seamount captures the El Gordo hydrothermal vent and attached OOI Cabled Array instrumentation (credit: NSF-OOI/UW/ISS; Dive R1839; V15).
