Ocean processes are of biological, geological, chemical or physical nature, occurring at micro — to kilometer scales, from less than seconds to centuries, turning the understanding and the sustainable management of the ocean into a multi-scale and multi-disciplinary effort. To address this variability with a cost-effective solution, the European FP7 project NeXOS has developed a new generation of...
The development of new cost-effective and compact multifunctional sensor systems for a sustainable and integrated approach to ocean monitoring is the main objective of the NeXOS project. Within this context, the company SMID Technology manufactured two passive acoustic sensor systems, A1 and A2, as a new type of small dimension, low power and innovative digital hydrophone systems. A1 is a standalone...
Many changes are occurring in the physical, chemistry and biology processes of the ocean. Understanding how these changes are driven is an element of the key environmental descriptors identified by the European Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) with the ultimate goal being to protect the resource base upon which marine-related economic and social activities depend. The Directive furthers...
This article describes the initial planning and outcomes of validation and demonstration efforts for oceanographic sensors in the EU-funded project NeXOS. The project has developed novel, multi-functional optical and acoustic sensors for environmental monitoring and mapping. These sensors are subject to validation and demonstration in real sea conditions. Procedures for validations are described,...
