Collaborations
The BSL has collaborated with the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research
Institute (MBARI) in two experiments on ocean-bottom instrumentation:
The MOISE and MOBB deployments are multi-purpose experiments to
develop, install, and operate a seafloor observatory.
The MOISE experiment was conducted from 6/10/1997 - 9/10/1997
and all equipment was successfully recovered. The MOBB
deployment began on 4/12/2002 and is planned as a permanent
installation.

As part of this collaboration, the borehole sites will have two sets of digital
data loggers. The table below lists which channels will be recorded and the
SEED network and location codes which will be used.

Data access
-
Waveform data from the ocean-bottom deployments are available in
SEED format, but are not currently distributed using the standard
tools such as SeismiQuery and NetDC. The NCEDC is working to
to make these data available in the same way as other BK stations;
for the moment, interested users are encouraged to
request a research account.
