Hawaii Undersea Geo-Observatory (HUGO)

夏威夷大学将继续发展夏威夷海底地球物理观测站（HUGO）。HUGO被设想为一个长期的深海系统，它由传感器、监控器和相互连接的光缆组成，位于夏威夷岛东南35公里的Loihi火山顶部1000米深的地方。设计标准包括一套声学、地震和其他传感器，这些传感器将连接到光纤骨干系统，并将数据传输到岸上并实时记录。有了全套的传感器，HUGO将能够长时间持续监测地震城市、倾斜、化学物质排放、洋流、热液活动和其他参数。该项目将提供有用的工程信息，这些信息将有利于随后的海底观测站和nsf资助的未来研究项目。还将获得有关洛伊希火山本身的科学数据。美国电话电报公司捐赠了一条35公里长的光缆，并将为该大学铺设光缆。夏威夷大学也提供费用分摊。

The University of Hawaii will continue development of the Hawaii Undersea Geophysical Observatory (HUGO). HUGO is envisioned as a long-term, deep-ocean system of sensors, monitors and inter- connecting electro-optic cables located 1,000 meters deep, atop Loihi Volcano, 35 km southeast of the Island of Hawaii. Design criteria accommodate a suite of acoustic, seismic, and other sensors that will be connected to the fiber-optic backbone system and data transmitted ashore and recorded in real time. With a full suite of sensors, HUGO will be able to continuously monitor seismi- city, tilt, chemical emissions, ocean currents, hydrothermal activity, and other parameters over long time periods. The project will provide useful engineering information that will benefit subsequent seafloor observatories and NSF-sponsored research projects in the future. Scientific data will also be obtained about the Loihi Volcano itself. AT&T is donating a 35-km electro- optic cable and will lay the cable for the University. The University of Hawaii is also providing cost-sharing.
