Challenges Before and during the experiment: How to translate a complex experiment about a complex environment into accurate and significant environment into accurate and significant understandings about the nature and purposes of ocean observing.g
After the experiment: How to use the experiment to increase awareness and use of AOOS data and information by non‐scientists, e.g., educators, the fishing community, recreational boaters.
