Pioneer Data Collection

pioneer_map2The Ocean Observatory Initiative has deployed the Pioneer array of sensors on the shelf and slope of the US East Coast. To serve scientists developing research projects around the OOI assets, SeaView is providing links to data from the Pioneer Array region in its partner repositories, using two standard formats: ODV and netCDF. Data collected from OOI sensors are available through the OOI data portal; below we provide co-located data from the SeaView repositories.

We apologize that the THREDDS server is currently under repair.
