Lessons Learned From the United States Ocean Observatories Initiative

The Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI) is a United States National Science Foundation-funded major research facility that provides continuous observations of the ocean and seafloor from coastal and open ocean locations in the Atlantic and Pacific. Multiple cycles of OOI infrastructure deployment, recovery, and refurbishment have occurred since operations began in 2014. This heterogeneous ocean observing infrastructure with multidisciplinary sampling in important but challenging locations has provided new scientific and engineering insights into the operation of a sustained ocean observing system. This paper summarizes the challenges, successes, and failures experienced to date and shares recommendations on best practices that will be of benefit to the global ocean observing community

Antibodies to synovial antigens in recent‐onset rheumatoid arthritis

Objective. To identify synovial antigens that bind to serum antibodies from subjects with recent‐onset rheumatoid arthritis (RA)

Developing a Warning System for Inbound Tsunamis from the Cascadia Subduction Zone

Real-time tsunami warning in the nearfield is considerably more difficult than producing warnings for distant events. Although in some cases strong shaking will provide the only warning, there are several situations in which better early tsunami warning systems could be critical. We discuss some of the issues that arise, particularly the difficulty of interpreting ocean bottom pressure recordings in the near source region, and make some recommendations for future research and first steps toward a better warning system for the Pacific Northwest
