The Multi-disciplinary Ocean Sensors for Environmental | |
Analyses and Networks (MOSEAN) project has the long-term | |
goal of developing and testing new technologies that will | |
lead to increased observations that are essential for | |
solving a variety of interdisciplinary oceanographic | |
problems of societal importance. These include: | |
biogeochemical cycling, climate change effects, ocean | |
pollution, harmful algal blooms (HABs), ocean ecology, | |
and underwater visibility. The collective MOSEAN sensors | |
will be able to sample key variables that are vital to | |
solve problems in nearshore to coastal to open ocean | |
environments. The overall objective of MOSEAN is to | |
produce new sensors that will be able to sample key | |
variables that are vital to solve interdisciplinary | |
oceanographic problems in virtually all ocean | |
environments. To accomplish this objective, the MOSEAN | |
partnership is developing, interfacing, testing, and | |
demonstrating new interdisciplinary sensor suites. | |
Measurements with emerging biological, chemical, and | |
optical sensors are the primary focus of the study. The | |
sensors and systems are being designed for use with a | |
variety of autonomous, unattended sampling platforms | |
including both stationary-type (e.g., moorings, offshore | |
platforms, and towers) and mobile-type (e.g., moored | |
profilers, autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), | |
gliders, drifters, and profiling floats). The MOSEAN | |
sensors and systems will be capable of measuring key | |
chemical, biological, and optical variables to complement | |
physical data suites on time scales as short as minutes | |
and space scales down to a meter for periods on order of | |
months and horizontal space scales on order of 100's of | |
kilometers. The sensors are being designed with | |
capabilities of real-time and/or near real-time data | |
telemetry. | |
