Oceanographic buoy expands OBSEA capabilities

Abstract

On this paper, the electronic system and oceanographic instruments of a moored buoy are presented. The system has been designed by the SARTI research team to meet a very specific objective, which is to expand the capabilities of the underwater observatory OBSEA as a research and test platform, providing an infrastructure for testing instruments either at the seafloor or at the surface. The system currently has a meteorological station, a video camera and a 3G modem for telemetry, in addition to a connection to OBSEA and expansion ports for connecting other systems for tests.
