Here is a FAQ that came to us from a recent community workshop:

Q.  How is CI pulling together OOI data and other data like IOOS, NDBC, and other sources?

In November of 2009 we conducted an Observing System Simulation Experiment (OSSE) to test the capabilities of the CI using a distributed ocean observing network in the Mid-Atlantic Bight. For this effort, the team tested the Planning and Prosecution CI software, which provides the ability to monitor and control individual components within an ocean observing network. The CI software coordinates and prioritizes the shared resources, allows for reconfigurable tasking, and enables autonomous execution of observation plans of the fixed and mobile platforms.
