Ocean Observatories Initiative Overview May 2015
The Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI) aims to sustain the delivery of ocean data, facilitate at-sea experiments, and expand observatory capabilities. It encompasses various sites and arrays to acquire, store, process, and distribute data. Recent changes include management transitions and development updates with key priorities focused on close out activities.

Ocean Observatories Initiative OOI Overview May 2015
OOI Overarching Objectives The design requirements of the OOI lead to three essential objectives: Sustain, for decades, the delivery of multiple streams of ocean data, resolving ocean processes and properties across a range of temporal and spatial scales; Facilitate the use of the designed capabilities of the OOI for specific at-sea experiments or extension of the temporal and spatial reach of ocean research; Sustain the expansion capabilities of the observatory as technology evolves and in response to new science questions.

Significant Changes within OOI January 2014, PMO took over direct management of CI-UCSD work effort due to concerns of inadequate progress towards delivery February 2014, contracted with Raytheon to develop a rapid prototype, based on their Universal Framework (uFrame) service oriented architecture used by National Weather Service AWIPS II June 2014, successful demonstration of uFrame prototype July 2014, PMO decided to transition away from software being developed at CI-UCSD due to lack of adequate defect closure rate and concerns of future maintainability July 2014, Rutgers begins transition to CI Implementing Organization August 2014, Raytheon under contract for full development of uFrame with PMO acting as Implementing Organization with transition to Rutgers OOI Review May 2015 5
Current priorities Manage the close out of Construction accounts across the project, assuring that sufficient funds remain to address the last emerging risks. Must align budget and staffing to only the most essential remaining work. Execute the transition to operations (second builds, first turns , shift to O&M $$) for all arrays OOI Review May 2015 6

Technical Issues and Risks for OOI Surface-piercing profiler technology is not as mature as initially expected. Global surface-piercing profiler was descoped and is being replaced by gliders functioning as virtual moorings. Coastal surface-piercing profiler, long-term performance to be assessed. (WHOI SIO OSU - OL) Risk: hoped-for advances in vertical resolution of upper-ocean processes (supporting the transformative aspect of the OOI) must await further progress by vendors (partially mitigated) Vertical moorings deployed within the cabled array have technical issues to resolve, specific to the deep and shallower profiler. Remaining shallow profiler continues successful testing. Deep profiler issues identified and resolution in progress. Testing in progress. (UW- OL) Risk: hoped-for advances in vertical resolution of upper-ocean processes (supporting the transformative aspect of the OOI) must await further progress with technology reliability. (low technical risk, moderate schedule risk) OOI Review May 2015 20
Technical Issues and Risks for OOI The AUV docking system is scheduled for Spring 2015 deployment within the Pioneer Array. In-water tests demonstrated some success. Docking system complexity and final design changes could lead to a schedule problem. (WHOI - OL) Risk: AUVs may need to be descoped, eliminating the resolution planned to be obtained by the AUVs (high risk). Fuel cell development continues for the surface moorings, but progress has been slower than expected. Unit failed to operate on recent deployment, and was immediately recovered. Failure analysis indicated root cause, but partial redesign requirement for remediation. (WHOI - OL) Risk: Mission duration may be impacted by lack of full power from wind and solar generators for charging AUV batteries eliminating the resolution planned to be obtained by the AUVs (moderate to high risk).
