Overview
The OSSE group performs a field deployment in the mid-Atlantic bight November 2-13, 2009. It involves the coordination and integration of various data sources, technologies and observing assets as part of an ocean observing simulation experiment. Thanks everyone for the contributions and participation.
Science question: Investigate the effect of fall/winter storms on currents and mixing of the upper layers. Investigate the timing and initiation of the winter bloom off the mid-Atlantic coast.
Technology goal: Investigate and demonstrate the successful integration of observation mission and control technologies in an integrated data distribution environment.
Assets
- In-situ assets (Satellites, coastal radar)
- Satellite: SST, Ocean color
- Satellite: EO-1 (requested several passes) Hyperion
- Codar HF radar
- Mobile assets (Gliders, AUVs)
- Rutgers SLOCUM gliders RU5, RU15, RU21, RU23 deployed (some standard mission, some taskable)
- U.Delaware may operate one glider covering the southern area
- MIT - On-board autonomy (Back-seat driver)
- NUWC - IVER2 AUV (Hammerhead)
- Cal.Poly - IVER2 AUV
- Rutgers REMUS AUV
- Ships: Arabella booked for the entire week 11/2
- Operational numerical models (see also numerical models detail page)
- OSSE Data Portal: Operated by JPL (YI, Peggy), based on JPL OurOceanPortal
- Shore side planning: JPL (Steve, David T) Waypoint and mission planning and simulation (see OSSE technology integration)

OOI Community Meeting Day 1 |
The OOI community meeting in Baltimore is one of the first big outreach mechanisms of the OOI program since construction start. OOI project scientists and community members will be discussing the OOI and science goals. This is a good opportunity for the OSSE team to show technology integration and a community deployment. |

Operations
Daily telecons will be held during the two weeks of the OSSE deployment (see WebEx dial-in information above) at 2pm ET, 11am PT every weekday. Everyone is invited to participate in these telecons. The telecons provide an opportunity to discuss current OSSE status and to decide on the next actions.
The figure below shows an initial flow of data into a shore side command & control infrastructure (to be updated during the OSSE)
