The rapid development of enabling technologies for time-series science
offers the potential to revolutionize how ocean science will be
conducted in the new millennium. These observational developments are
mirrored by new advancements in numerical modeling. This combined
capability will enable scientists to address interdisciplinary processes
operating in the earth, ocean, and atmosphere. To stimulate the
development of interactive observatory based research and education,
NSF's ORION Program will capitalize on new technical capabilities
provided by Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI) infrastructure to meet
the current convergence of basic research and societal needs. The OOI
will consist of three components facilitating research in the coastal,
regional (spanning the coasts to the deep sea) and deep ocean, and
employing a broad suite of enabling technologies including cables,
moorings, and relocatable and fixed observatories.
The ORION workshop will formulate the science priorities and educational
opportunities that can be addressed using ocean observatories.
