Expandable Seafloor Observatory
OBSEA is a cabled seafloor observatory located 4 km off the Vilanova i la Geltru coast in a fishing protected area. It is connected to the coast by an energy and communications mixed cable (OceanOPS WMO number: 6103565).
- Provides an uninterrupted power supply to the scientific instruments.
- Offers a high bandwidth communication link.
- Real time data is available and problems encountered in battery powered systems are avoided.
- An optical Ethernet network that transmits data continuously to marine sensors connected to the observator.
