MOBY Meeting Objectives

• MOBY Background• Review of the Research and Operations (R&O) progress

– FY05 and FY06 funding– Describe goals based on R&O funding– Show accomplishments

• Describe our vision of the future– Learn from the 9 year MOBY experience– Incorporate R&O lessons

• Solution: New instrument build – ROSES funding requested for build – Plan MOBY decommission and operation use of new instrument

beginning in FY10
