Abstract:
|
New trends in experimental marine research
require long term monitoring of the seas
and oceans with higher data resolutions
than those which can be obtained from
oceanographic vessels, buoys or autonomous se
nsors. Subsea observation platforms are
the response to these needs. These infras
tructures are complex systems, precisely
designed to ensure they are flexible, robust
and stable and also capable of managing a
wide range of sensors and instruments in r
eal time with minimum maintenance. Some
of the most commonly used instruments fo
r ocean research are based on optical and
image sensors, and in this chapter we provi
de a review of the key components of a
subsea observatory and the main challenges
facing optical and image sensors used in
multidisciplinary and multiparameter underwater observatories. |
