The National Science Foundation is considering the relocation of the Ocean Observing Initiative's Coastal PIONEER Array (https://oceanobservatories.org/array/coastal-pioneer-array/). This array, including moorings, gliders, and AUVs, is currently located off the coast of New England where it has operated for the past 5 years.
The array is designed to be relocatable to enable new science and observations at other critical regions of the ocean. The process to consider if/where/when/how of the PIONEER Array is now underway. This GitHub repository is set up to facilitate open and constructive discussions about this relocation effort.
There will be a multi-phase process to decide on where to move the PIONEER Array (see link above). A weeklong Innovation Lab to discuss all aspects of the relocation will be held in March 2021. Application to participate in the Innovation Lab is due on January 31, 2021.
