In particular, INGV was in charge of the deposition for almost 2 years in near-source area in the Gulf of Cadiz at over 3200 m w.d. of a GEOSTAR-type multidisciplinary observatory, specifically enhanced with a prototypal system of Tsunami Early Warning. ESONET-NoE: European Seafloor Observatory Network-Network of Excellence: 2007-2011: FP6 ...
European Multidisciplinary Seafloor and Water Column Observatory for a real-time, long-term monitoring of environmental processes from the seafloor to the sea surface; Antarctic Geological Drilling to unravel the past glacial history from Antarctic sediments
An example of a fixed-point ocean observatory, with several sensors and a communicating buoy. A fixed-point ocean observatory is an ocean observing autonomous system of automatic sensors and samplers that continuously gathers data from deep sea, water column and lower atmosphere, and transmits the data to shore in real or near real-time.
GeoEcoMar is, alongside similar institutes from Italy, France, UK, Greece, Spain, Ireland, the Netherlands, Germany and Portugal, a member of the European Multidisciplinary Seafloor and water column Observatory [8] (EMSO), a network of various institutes and companies monitoring the open ocean or shallow waters in order to prevent hazards ...
In 2006, Ocean Networks Canada began collecting high-resolution in-situ measurements from the seafloor in Saanich Inlet, near Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. [9] Monitoring sites were later extended to the Strait of Georgia [10] and 5 locations off the West coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. All historical measurements are ...
Map of OOI's arrays that continuously collect ocean data. Credit: Center for Environmental Visualization, University of Washington. The Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI) is a National Science Foundation (NSF) Major Research Facility composed of a network of science-driven ocean observing platforms and sensors (ocean observatories) in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
Porcupine Abyssal Plain Observatory [ edit ] The observatory is multidisciplinary and moored, and was deployed early on 7 October 2002 [ 5 ] at 49° N and -16° 30' W. [ 6 ] It is coordinated by the National Oceanography Centre and provides time-series datasets used for monitoring and analysing the effects of climate change on the deep Atlantic ...
KM3NeT Digital Optical Module (DOM) in the laboratory. In the future and pending funding, the full neutrino telescope will contain in the order of 12000 pressure-resistant glass spheres attached to about 600 flexible vertical strings - or detection units - anchored at the seabed.
