[Data-Mongers] hands-on opportunity for OOI data, Weds., Jan. 20, noon to 1pm, Smith Conf. Room

[Stace Beaulieu]

Hello, Woods Hole Data Mongers,
Many of you may be aware that OOI data went "live" last week. I am 
fwd'ing the announcement below.
I attended the UNOLS OOI Coastal Arrays Workshop 
<https://www.unols.org/event/meeting/unols-ooi-coastal-arrays-workshop> 
last week and learned about OOI data access:
http://oceanobservatories.org/data/
I would like to share some of what I learned last week from the OOI data 
team.
If you are interested, please *join me for a one-hour, hands-on session 
in Smith Conf. Room on Weds., Jan. 20, noon to 1pm*.
Please bring your laptop or tablet.
I am thinking that I will organize this session as follows: start with a 
15-min overview, then 15-min for you to explore on your own their Data 
Portal or work with data from their THREDDS server, then we will 
re-group for 15-min to answer questions and have some discussion, and 
then I will stay for the remaining 15-min to help with individual 
questions.
See you then,
best regards,
Stace Beaulieu

*OOI Status Update: January 08, 2016*

Welcome to your Ocean Observatories Initiative. The OOI Data Portal is 
now OPEN to view data. Click here to create your login 
<https://ooinet.oceanobservatories.org/>.//

We are opening up the OOI Data Portal immediately to the community for 
viewing data while we continue to conduct configuration validation of 
data streams.  Data viewed through the time series plotting function are 
preliminary and subject to change as the team continues their quality 
control processes and the validation of OOINet. Your feedback 
<http://oceanobservatories.org/questions/> is welcome and appreciated.

We are providing access to validated OOI data while this process is 
being completed through the OOI Website. Data currently available for 
download from the OOI Website includes:

  * All historical Cruise Data <http://oceanobservatories.org/cruise-data/>
  * Validated OOI dataset files through a THREDDS server
    <http://oceanobservatories.org/thredds-server/>.The number of
    available datasets will increase over time as data are validated. 
    The list of datasets on the THREDDS server are based on the
    Essential Ocean Variables identified by the OOI Science Oversight
    Committee (SOC) and the scientific community.

An additional feature available on the OOI Data Portal at this time is 
HD video streams at a hydrothermal vent site on the Axial Seamount. Live 
video streams <https://ooinet.oceanobservatories.org/cameras> of the 
actively venting chimney are provided periodically throughout the day 
during the hours of 1:00, 4:00, 7:00, and 10:00 ET & PT, for a duration 
of 14 minutes.

Beyond the website, there are additional ways to get information about 
using the OOI. OOI Operations Staff are available to meet with potential 
investigators who wish to submit proposals to deploy instruments on the 
OOI.  Investigators can schedule an appointment to meet virtually with 
OOI Operations Staff to discuss technical requirements, testing, and 
answer any other questions researchers might have regarding adding 
instrumentation to the OOI arrays. Click here to view available times.

The Cabled Array team will host an Introductory Webinar Tues. Jan. 19, 
1pm ET to present an overview of the Cabled Array infrastructure, 
focusing on engineering details, including power, communications and 
more. A brief opportunity to answer questions will also be available. 
The session is scheduled to last up to 2 hours. Please sign up for the 
webinar online 
<https://rutgers.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_e4ZIqevAc0m5rrT> by Jan. 15th.

This last week the OOSC/UNOLS hosted a coastal array workshop at NSF. 
Presentations and information from the workshop are publically available 
online 
<https://www.unols.org/event/meeting/unols-ooi-coastal-arrays-workshop>. 
Stay tuned as in the late spring, the SOC will be organizing the an OOI 
Workshop focusing on data assessment.  Check back to the OOI Website and 
subscribe to our list serve 
<http://oceanobservatories.org/mailing-list/> for updates.

Thank you for your continued interest in the OOI program.

We look forward to hearing from you,

The OOI Team
