+ The global component of the OOI design includes a network of moorings at critical, yet under sampled, high-latitude locations such as within the Argentine Basin in the South Atlantic. Moorings located in the Argentine Basin will support sensors for measurement of air-sea fluxes of heat, moisture and momentum, and physical, biological and chemical properties throughout the water column. The array will have a combination of fixed platforms (moorings) with moored profilers to address the requirement to sample the full water column and mobile platforms (gliders) that will provide simultaneous spatial and temporal sampling capabilities. The array will be composed of a Surface Mooring containing fixed instruments situated on the buoy and through the top 1500 m of the water column. A subsurface Global Profiler Mooring made up of two wire-following profilers, one operating from 310 m to 2,645 m and the other 2,665 m to 5,000 m. Two Flanking Moorings will be deployed to form a triangular array ~62 km on a side. These Moorings have their uppermost flotation at ~30 m depth and instruments at discrete depths along the mooring line. Open-Ocean Gliders will be equipped with acoustic modems to relay data from the Flanking Moorings to shore via satellite telemetry. Some gliders will sample within and around the triangular array, while others will sample the upper water column near the Global Profiler Mooring. These gliders will carry sensor suites (see below) with the capability to alter sampling rates during a mission.

+The Endurance Array, located on the continental shelf and slope off Oregon and Washington, will provide a long-term network of moorings, benthic nodes, cabled and uncabled sensors, and gliders. The array will consist of two lines of moorings, one off Newport, Oregon (the Oregon Line) and the other off Grays Harbor, Washington (the Washington Line). Gliders will sample between the mooring lines. The array will focus on observing the influence of the Columbia River on the coastal ecosystem as well as sample a prototypical upwelling regime on a narrow continental shelf where anoxia events are common. Some of the Endurance Array Oregon Line infrastructure will be connected to the RSN cabled network providing enhanced power and communications for observing water column and seafloor processes.
+The first phase of the Pioneer Array deployment took place in November 2013, with the installation of three moorings – a surface mooring at the central site, a profiler mooring at the upstream inshore site and a profiler mooring at the upstream offshore site. In April 2014, during the second deployment phase, five Wire-Following Profile Moorings were deployed at the Pioneer Array with three gliders. The third and final deployment phase is scheduled for Fall 2014.

A subsurface Global Profiler Mooring made up of one wire-following profiler operating from ~240 m to 2400 m. Two Flanking Moorings will be deployed to form a triangular array ~20 km on a side. These flanking Moorings have their uppermost flotation at ~40 m depth and instruments at discrete depths along the mooring line. Open-Ocean Gliders will be equipped with acoustic modems to relay data from the Flanking Moorings to shore via satellite telemetry. Some gliders will sample within and around the triangular array, while others will sample the upper water column near the Global Profiler Mooring.

+The Pioneer Array is a network of platforms and sensors operating on the continental shelf and slope south of New England. A moored array will be centered at the shelf break in the mid-Atlantic Bight south of Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) will sample the frontal region in the vicinity of the moored array, and gliders will resolve mesoscale features on the outer shelf and the slope sea between the shelf break front and the Gulf Stream.

+ The global component of the OOI design includes a network of moorings at critical, yet under-sampled, high-latitude locations such as Station Papa in the North Pacific. The array at Station Papa will be occupied in coordination with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), which maintains a surface mooring there. As one of the oldest oceanic time series sites, with surveying conducted in the area since 1949, Station Papa has been an important location in the global network of OceanSITES. OOI is designed to add to the existing infrastructure at Station Papa by adding three additional moorings to the area as well as mobile platforms (gliders) to sample in the space between the moorings. The Global Profiler Mooring is composed of two Wire-Following Profilers, one operating from 307 m to 2,174 m and the other 2,195 m to 4,061 m. Two Flanking Moorings will be deployed to form a triangular array ~40 km on a side. These Moorings have their uppermost flotation at ~20 m depth and instruments at discrete depths along the mooring line. Open-Ocean Gliders will be equipped with acoustic modems to relay data from the Flanking Moorings to shore via satellite telemetry. Some gliders will sample within and around the triangular array, while others will sample the upper water column near the Global Profiler Mooring. These gliders will carry sensor suites (see below) with the capability to alter sampling rates during a mission.
+In July 2013, the first of the OOI infrastructure was deployed at Station Papa, including – one Global Profiler Mooring, two Mesoscale Flanking Moorings and three Global Gliders, totaling 57 instruments. Click here to read the July 2013 Station Papa Deployment Cruise Report.
