... PLY ~ ~:~ L: -- _ PLATE 1 One component of the OOI is a global network of 15-20 moored buoys, linked to shore via satellite, that support measurements of air-sea fluxes, physical, biological, and chemical water properties, and geophysical observations on or below the seafloor.

... A variety of systems, including moorings, AUVs, bottom rovers, cameras, current profilers, and physical, chemical, and biological sensors, are used to make in situ measurements of volcanic, hydrothermal, and biological activity. The data are telemetered to real time to scientists to laboratories on shore.

... Bottom: The footprint of a high resolution HF radar system, which has a spatial resolution of 1.5 km. Given that many coastal processes operate on spatial scales of 1 2 km, it has been suggested that nesting multi static arrays of high resolution HF radar units withrn the IOOS national array would have high scientific value.
