Collaborative Research: Multi-disciplinary Ocean Sensors for Environmental Analyses and Networks [MOSEAN]

PI建议开发一种新的传感器套件，能够测量关键的化学和生物/生物光学变量，以补充目前收集的物理数据。传感器将被设计成允许它们与各种自主采样平台（例如，系泊设备、海上平台、塔架、AUV、滑翔机、漂流器和剖面浮标）以及实时和近实时数据遥测。PI将在现有的试验台系泊系统上开发和测试原型传感器。环境分析和网络多学科海洋传感器项目将侧重于开发新技术，以增加对解决跨学科海洋学问题至关重要的观测。例如：地球化学循环、气候变化影响、海洋污染、有害藻华、海洋生态和水下能见度。

The PI's propose to develop a new sensor suite which will be capable of measuring key chemical and biological/bio-optical variables that will complement physical data currently collected. The sensors will be designed to allow them to be interfaced with a variety of autonomous sampling platforms (e.g., moorings, offshore platforms, towers, AUVs, gliders, drifters, and profiling floats) and for real-time and near real-time data telemetry. The PI's will develop and test the proto-type sensors on existing testbed moorings. The Multi-disciplinary Ocean Sensors for Environmental Analysis and Networks (MOSEAN) project will focus on development of new technologies to increase observations that are essential for solving interdisciplinary oceanographic problems. Examples include: biogeochemical cycling, climate change effects, ocean pollution, harmful algal blooms, ocean ecology, and underwater visibility.
