Have you been looking for a good (and quick) video introduction of the OOI to show your students? In case you haven’t seen this video yet, it’s a nice option to consider. This video, Access the Ocean, was produced back in the fall of 2018 by the Consortium of Ocean Leadership, as one of their […]
Welcome back to Python Tuesday! The OOI dataset is not exactly the easiest dataset to work with. But a significant reason for this is that the dataset contains over a thousand individual instruments in the system and 36 different instrument types (and that’s not even counting engineering data streams). So no system with such a […]
The Mid Atlantic has one of the largest summer to winter changes of sea surface temperature in the world. But you don’t have to take my word for this, we can use real data to see how large the change is! In last week’s example notebook, we created a dummy dataset to demonstrate how one […]
Welcome to Python P-Tuesday! In this new series of posts, I hope to bring you a number of Python examples that can help you and your students learn some of the ins-and-outs of using Python for Oceanographic data analysis, especially when it comes to working with OOI data. Many of the examples will come from […]

Our upcoming sessions focus on Teaching […]
Last week, the Data Labs team and many members of our growing community attended the 2020 Ocean Sciences meeting in San Diego. If you haven’t had a chance to go, Ocean Sciences is a meeting that’s jam packed with thousands of science talks, and dozens of workshop and town halls. You’re basically talking and learning […]
Will you be attending Ocean Sciences in San Diego this year? If so, we hope you’ll check out the following talks and posters by OOI Data Labs community members. All of these feature Data Explorations developed as part of the Data Labs project, as well as other activities that use OOI data in the classroom […]

Ocean Sciences Workshop Announced Data Labs: Using OOI Data to Engage Students in Oceanography Sunday, February 16, 2020 8:30am – 4:00pm We will be at Ocean Sciences 2020 in San Diego to present another NSF-sponsored workshop on the integration of Ocean Observing Initiative (OOI) data into undergraduate teaching of oceanography themes and concepts. We are […]
There are two key benefits of ocean serving systems: they collect data over long time periods, and in high-resolution. Many oceanographic experiments rely on a single cruise or mooring deployment. But when a location is designated as part of an observing system, it becomes semi-permeant with multiple moorings succeeding each other. This allows scientist to […]
Here’s a quick snapshot of what’s in this Data Labs project update: Updates from our June & July Workshops New Data Explorations in Development Ocean Sciences 2020 – Call for Abstracts Project EDDIE Module Development Workshop Updates from our June & July Workshops It’s been a busy summer for the OOI Data Labs team and […]
I love diving into data and discovering new things about the ocean, and we’ve been doing quite a bit of that lately*. But one of the things that really amazes me about the OOI dataset, is that you don’t have to dig far to find some really cool things – and perhaps some new science […]
