  1. OOI - Transition to Operations • OOI is a UNOLs facility; OOI is a community facility • Ocean Observing Science Committee (OOSC) is established • OOSC will run OOI user workshops (2014/2015) • Future Committees (Schedule & Improvement) will evolve as OOI matures • O&M Planning & Budgeting • COL proposes Annual O&M plan to NSF (annual cycle) • NSF conducts external reviews & makes funding decisions • Current award to COL ends in April 2017, recompetition • NSF utilizes OOSC for community input

  2. OOI Advisory Structure - OOSC NSF/OCE OOSC COL • Fall 2010 - Ocean Observing Science Committee (OOSC) established, UNOLS committee • Larry Atkinson (Chair), ODU • Emmanuel Boss, Maine • Suzanne Carbotte, LDEO • Steve DiMarco, TAMU • Mary Jo Richardson, TAMU • Ruoying He, NCSU • Raphael Kudela, UCSC OOSC Charge: The Ocean Observing Science Committee, (OOSC), is charged with providing advice and guidance on decisions and plans from the science perspective related to NSF observing investments such as the Monterey Accelerated Research System (MARS) and OOI as well as other ocean observing support systems. The OOSC will be an essential element in the process of communicating the science user perspective to the National Science Foundation and to the project teams involved in developing, deploying and operating ocean observatories.

  3. OOI Data Policy • OOI data is freely available via the internet • Latencies, sampling rates and data management conducted per design and data management plan (currently under development – April review is planned) • New PIs with instruments early in the development cycle may request exclusive access up to one year. Requests will be reviewed on a case by case basis. All data (including meta-data) becomes public when exclusivity expires.

  4. OOI Observatory Operational Domains

  5. OOI Key Issues for the Transition to Operations • How will Operational Decisions that impact science be made? COL will propose a governance process to address operational decision making – post commissioning. It will be modeled on best practices from NSF observatories (MARs & Earthscope) • How will Researchers, Educators & the Public interact with the network? Interaction will be via the internet, outreach days/activities and the OOI cyberinfrastructuretools (streaming data, notifications, etc) • How will proposals be managed?

  6. OOI Proposals – basic strategy Three Basic Steps – Modeled after UNOLs-like proposals • Proposal Development - Proposing scientist or team will need to address questions of power, data comms, logistics per COL’s process (website prices, tools and instrument outreach days). • NSF Funding – Standard process to review proposals 3. Integration - Funded proposals will be integrated into the OOI network (a scheduling committee will be stood up as needed). GOALS: Simplicity of process, fairness and transparency Proposals will navigate these steps – in their own way - for example: a. Data only proposal b. Simple proposal c. Complex proposal
