The summer of 2014 saw the completion of installation and first data from the cabled portion of the Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI) Regional Scaled Nodes (RSN). Data streams live from over 130 instruments to an OOI Data Portal via telecom cables that land in Pacific City, OR. The observatory encompasses a cross-section of the Juan de Fuca plate from the coastal shelf to an undersea volcano, with instruments from 80 m to 2900 m depth. Acoustic instrumentation includes 6 broadband hydrophones (capable of 120 kHz), 5 low frequency hydrophones (to 5 kHz), two 3-frequency upward looking fisheries sonars, and 6 upward looking ADCPs. Water-borne acoustic data have also been observed in the 5 broadband (3 mHz to 10 Hz) and 7 short-period (0.1 Hz to 100 Hz) seismometers. Two new acoustic experiments will be deployed in the 2018 O&M cruise. The raw and processed data are archived and are open access to all. An overview of the types of instruments and their locations, as well as discussion of data characteristics and how to access the data, will be given. Some examples of data will be shown as well as examples of specific event characterization and ongoing uses.The summer of 2014 saw the completion of installation and first data from the cabled portion of the Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI) Regional Scaled Nodes (RSN).
