Talk-27: OOI Cyberinfrastructure: A Strategy for Sensing and Acquisition of Heterogeneous Sensors on Autonomous Marine Platforms
Alon Yaari, University of California San Diego
The Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI) is a long-term, NSF-funded program that seeks to subsume and disseminate heterogeneous ocean-related measurements. OOI is constructing a networked infrastructure of science-driven sensor systems to measure the physical, chemical, geological, and biological variables in the ocean and seafloor. Underwater and surface vessels will serve as instrumentation platforms that are capable of adapting sampling based on data events or by human interaction.
MOOS and IvPHelm provide obvious benefit to the OOI CyberInfrastructure (CI). As importantly, the methods being designed for CI can be scaled for acquiring, processing, storing, and distributing of data during individual autonomous marine deployments. Often, MOOS deployments are exercises in data sensing and acquisition. The open-source CI will provide a readily-available infrastructure to complement MOOS for managing instrument data on embedded hardware, with intermittent communications, and for remote, disparate data consumers.
