HUGO: The Hawaii Undersea Geo-Observatory Evaluation

提供9818793 DuennebierFunding是为了评估第一个电缆深海观测站的初步运行情况，并为其未来制定计划。夏威夷海底地质观测站(HUGO)是作为一个自动化的海底火山观测站开发和安装在夏威夷岛上基拉韦厄火山正南约50英里的海底洛伊希海山顶峰上，它通过光缆与海岸相连。Hugo的设计目的是通过收集各种实验的数据来监控Loihi上的活动，这些实验将连接到电缆末端的接线盒。在1997年10月部署时，这些实验包括一个地震计、一个水听器和一个压力传感器。其他拟议的传感器将监测地震和喷发、地质、地球物理、生物学、热液喷发和水下海山上的其他活动。该系统运行和收集数据长达7个月，直到1998年4月26日，一次电气故障终止了运行。7个月的连续海底测量将被编制出来，以供出版。还将找回海底接线盒，并将进行一项研究，以评估天文台的故障模式，以确定维修或重新安装是否在科学上有根据或在技术上可行。

9818793DuennebierFunding is provided to evaluate the initial operation of the first cabled deep seafloor observatory and to make plans for it futures. The Hawaii Undersea Geo-Observatory (HUGO) was developed and installed as an automated submarine volcano observatory on the summit of the undersea Loihi seamount approximately 50 miles due south of Kilauea volcano on the island of Hawaii It is connected to the shore via fiber optic cable. HUGO was designed to monitor activity on Loihi by collecting data from a variety of experiments that were to be connected to a junction box at the end of the cable. At its deployment in October 1997, these experiments included a seismometer, a hydrophone and a pressure sensor. Other proposed sensors would monitor earthquakes and eruptions, geology, geophysics, biology, hydrothermal venting and other activities on the underwater seamount. The system operated and collected data for seven months, until April 26, 1998, when an electrical failure terminated operations. Seven months of continuous seafloor measurements will be worked up for publication. The seafloor junction box will also be recovered, and a study will be undertaken to evaluate the failure mode of the observatory in order to determine whether a repair or re-installation is scientifically warranted or technically feasible.
