ALOHA Opportunity The ALOHA - MARS mooring sensor network combines adaptive sampling methods with a moored deep-ocean sensor network.

We engaged ALOHA - MARS team December 2006 to offer our instrument interface and data management technology for ALOHA - MARS mooring deployment on MARS MBARI supplied SIAM services and SSDS interfaces for two instruments: –CTD: SeaBird SBE-52MP –Scattering/Fluorometer: Wetlabs ECO-BB We engaged ALOHA - MARS team December 2006 to offer our instrument interface and data management technology for ALOHA - MARS mooring deployment on MARS MBARI supplied SIAM services and SSDS interfaces for two instruments: –CTD: SeaBird SBE-52MP –Scattering/Fluorometer: Wetlabs ECO-BB ALOHA Opportunity

PUCK Overview PUCK is fundamentally a protocol

Technology to store instrument-related information with the instrument itself instrument PUCK RS-232 PUCK payload Observing system retrieves and utilizes information through instrument’s serial interface, using MBARI PUCK protocol PUCK payload “Plug-and-Work” How does it work?

Installation and configuration –Observatory retrieves info from PUCK, automatically configures itself to accommodate the instrument and its data Diversity of instrument protocols –PUCK can store “instrument driver” code that is retrieved and executed by observatory host; no need for host to know instrument protocol a priori Association of instrument data with metadata –Preloading instrument with metadata prior to deployment helps ensure that metadata is correctly associated with instrument; observatory gets metadata from the instrument itself.
