Scientists to prototype cyberinfrastructure for research and education access to ocean observatories

ure to link multiple coastal or regional observatories, including the Southern California Coastal Ocean Observatory (SCCOOS), which will provide real-time data from its existing sensors. New web services, networking and control prototypes will also be tested in conjunction with several new observatories to be constructed over the next five years (all of which, like ORION, derive their acronyms from heavenly bodies):

  • MARS (Monterey Accelerated Research System), a deep water, proof-of-concept testbed for cabled observatories, to begin construction in 2005, led by the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI);
  • VENUS (Victoria Experimental Network Under the Sea), Canada's shallow-water equivalent of the MARS testbed, to begin construction in late 2004, led by the University of Victoria; and
  • NEPTUNE (North East Pacific Time-series Undersea Networked Experiments), a joint U.S.-Cnadian regional cabled observatory planned for the northeast Pacific, led by LOOKING PI Delaney. NEPTUNE itself is the prototype for the first electro-optically linked, multi-node network of interconnected sensor arrays designed to measure and interact with all facets of solid Earth and coastal-to-global ocean-atmosphere processes that span the local to planetary scales. The northern loop of the network, with C$62 million already committed from NEPTUNE Canada in partnership with ORION, is scheduled to be operational in 2007, with full-network operation anticipated in the 2008-2010 time frame.

To manage -- on land -- the vast amounts of data streaming from these ocean observatories, LOOKING will rely on the emerging capabilities of the NSF-funded OptIPuter project. Dedicated lightpaths, or lambdas (individual wavelengths of light on optical fibers), linking UW and UCSD will form LOOKING's optical core, with plans for eventual links to NASA research centers, institutions in Mexico and Canada, as well as other U.S. universities th
