ON THE COVER

The Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI) is a National Science Foundation

major research facility operated as a community resource, providing con-

tinuous delivery of ocean and seafloor data from the coast to the open

ocean in the Atlantic and the Pacific. The map shows the locations of the

seven OOI arrays (image credit: OOI Cabled Array program & the Center

for Environmental Visualization, University of Washington). Inset photos

show infrastructure from the Coastal, Global, and Cabled Arrays (clockwise

from top): deployment of a Pioneer Array Coastal Surface Mooring from

R/V Atlantis (credit: OOI Pioneer Array Program, WHOI); Irminger Sea

Global Surface Mooring waits on the deck of R/V Knorr for deployment

Surface Mooring components await deployment (credit: OOI Global Array

Program, OSU); digital still camera deployed on Axial Seamount captures

the El Gordo hydrothermal vent and attached OOI Cabled Array instru-

mentation (credit: NSF-OOI/UW/ISS; Dive R1839; V15).
