The Cyberinfrastructure (CI) component of the OOI provides the common operating infrastructure connecting and coordinating the operations of the three OOI marine components with the scientific and educational pursuits of the oceanographic research communities.

This infrastructure will facilitate direct and immediate interaction with the ocean. The CI component will manage observatory resource management, mission command and control, data management and distribution, and meaningful collaboration across a wide range of disciplines. The long term objective is to couple the observation, modeling and mission control systems and make it accessible to all.

The University of California, San Diego serves as the Implementing Organization (IO) for Cyberinfrastructure.
