Description: The Ocean Research Interactive Observatory Networks (ORION) is a program that focuses the science, technology, education and outreach of an emerging network of science driven ocean observing systems. Building on the heritage of the ship-based expeditionary era of the last century, oceanography is commencing a new phase in which research scientists increasingly seek continuous interaction with the ocean environment to adaptively observe the earth-ocean-atmosphere system. Such approaches are crucial to resolving the full range of episodicity and temporal change central to so many ocean processes that directly impact human society, our climate and the incredible range of natural phenomena found in the largest ecosystem of the planet.
