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, physi-
cal, biological, and chemical water properties, and geophysical observations on
or below the seafloor. Figure courtesy of John Orcutt, Scripps Institution of Ocean-
ography.

PLATE 2 Artist's concept of a cabled observatory node located atop an active
submarine volcano. 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.

PLATE S An example of the potential for nested maps of surface currents mea
sured with high frequency (HF) radar arrays. Top: The footprint of a standard
long range HF radar for off the coast of New Jersey has a spatial resolution of 6
km, proposed to form one part of the IOOS observational backbone. 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. Figure
