The Ocean Could Store Vast Amounts of Captured Carbon – But We Need Deep Ocean Sensors to Track the Effects
now, we wouldn’t be able to measure or verify their effectiveness or assess impacts on ocean health and ecosystems.So, we are leading an initiative at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution to build the world’s first internet for the ocean, called the Ocean Vital Signs Network. It’s a large network of moorings and sensors that provides 4D eyes on the oceans – the fourth dimension being time – that are always on, always connected to monitor these carbon cycling processes and ocean health.Top predators such as whales, tuna, swordfish and sharks rely on the twilight zone for food
VisualSoft Selected for Cable-laying Vessel NKT Victoria
allow optimum use of high definition video playback. Also within the scope of supply is VisualArchive, an application which is used to collect logged files from the video systems and copies them to pre-configured file locations on a variety of storage and backup devices such as large network storage drives which also form part of this scope. VisualEdit Eventing will be used to provide an offline event and anomaly logging, editing and reporting capability for the project
Magseis Selects Sonardyne for Red Sea Surveys
Sonardyne International Ltd, UK, to support its upcoming deep water ocean bottom seismic survey of the Red Sea. Beginning this month (July) and working in partnership with BGP on behalf of Saudi Aramco, the S78 project is expected to last nine months and will involve the deployment of a large network of ocean bottom recording nodes, each of which will be accurately positioned using Sonardyne’s Ranger 2 USBL (Ultra-Short BaseLine) and Small Seismic Transponder (SST) technologies. Seismic surveillance surveys conducted using stationary receivers deployed on the seabed are becoming
Ecuador Adds TRIAXYS Wave Buoys to Coastal Network
to INOCAR personnel on managing and operating the network and will visit again for continued system training. INOCAR said it chose to use the TRIAXYS wave buoy based on its success in other coastal monitoring networks for similar clients in South America. INOCAR has implemented a large network of AXYS systems along the coastline of Ecuador. "With five TRIAXYS buoys and eight Port Sentinel systems in operation, the INOCAR coastal monitoring program is now providing real time data from important positions throughout Ecuador," said Chad MacIsaac, International Business Development
