Effective ocean and coastal data management are needed to manage marine ecosystem health. Past ocean and coastal data management systems were often very specific to a particular application and region, but this focused ...

This paper studies the precision, and the accuracy, of an underwater target tracking system, using range-only and single-beacon methods, in shallow waters environments. For this study, different field tests have been ...

The aim of this project is to implement a smart sensor worldwide network based on IEEE 1451 family of standards which can provide multiple interoperable clients to access geospatial and sensor data for national local ...

In this paper, we provide a comprehensive description of cost-efficient, innovative and interoperable ocean passive acoustics sensors systems, developed within the European FP7 project NeXOS (Next generation Low-Cost ...

Estuaries are coastal indentations where freshwater mixes with seawater (Pritchard 1967), and are found everywhere in the world. Moreover, the estuarine ecosystems are usually characterized by high biological productivity ...

Anthropogenic noise in the oceans has been significantly raising in the past decades due to an increment of human activities, adversely affecting the marine habitat. In order to assess and limit this impact, the long -term ...

The complexity of marine installations for ocean observing systems has grown significantly in recent years. In a network consisting of tens, hundreds or thousands of marine instruments, manual configuration and integration ...

Cabled observatories offer new opportunities to monitor species abundances at frequencies and durations never attained before. When nodes bear cameras, these may be transformed into the first sensor capable of quantifying ...
