Secondary nodes will connect to the primary nodes and transfer power and bandwidth to sensor networks. They are scheduled for deployment in 2013 using an ROV. --Graphic credit: OOI RSN and Center for Environmental Visualization, University of Washington

The footprint of the OOI cabled observatory

OOI primary nodes 

Extension cables will connect the primary nodes to secondary nodes and then to myriad instruments and sensors. Over 22,000 m of extension cables were deployed with the remotely operated vehicle ROPOS during the VISIONS'13 expedition, July - August, 2013. 

Highly capable moorings such as those shown here use power and bandwidth from the cable to investigate water motion and a spectrum of other properties from the sea surface to the seafloor.

The Cascadia Subduction Zone (CSZ) just west of Washington and Oregon is of particular interest to experts assessing tsunami danger to the US and Canada. The CSZ stretches from Northern CA's Cape Mendocino to souther Bristish Columbia.

Modifications to the RSN cabled observatory suggested at the RSN-Axial Workshop in Seattle, WA October 5-7, 2011. 

OOI RSN cable installation was completed on 5 September 2011.

The OOI cable for the regional component is being laid in segments, as shown on this graphic.
