MBARI’s three OASIS moorings have become significant operational assets, similar
to its ROVs. MBARI needs a reliable, efficient system to acquire and make available the
basic data files from the instruments on its moorings. The data must be minimally
processed to ensure a base level of quality control and made available to internal and
external users in a consistent format, in near-real time. Also, procedures and
configurations must be documented so users may assess the validity of the data for their
individual purposes.
To meet these needs the project team will:
- Stabilize and document the current OASIS data-processing system
- Add procedures to reduce the effort necessary to acquire data and improve system
reliability
- Make basic data files accessible to internal and external users
- Define core and developmental sensors
- Evaluate similar data acquisition and distribution systems at other organizations
- Refine long-term data management objectives and propose further development in future
years, if warranted
