OOI (Ocean Observatories Initiative)

The Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI) is a comprehensive system that uses advanced sensors and instruments installed in the ocean to collect real-time data about ocean conditions. It monitors crucial aspects like temperature, salinity, currents, and biological activity, providing scientists with detailed insights into ocean health and behavior. This information helps us understand climate change, support marine research, and improve weather and environmental predictions. OOI connects these observatories via underwater cables and autonomous platforms, creating a continuous, long-term view of the ocean's dynamic processes.
