EMSO Western Ligurian : Albatross mooring, AQUADOPP sensor (CSV 2016-2017)

The European Multidisciplinary Seafloor and water column Observatory (EMSO) is a research infrastructure distributed throughout Europe for seabed and water column observatories. It aims to further explore the oceans, better understand the phenomena that occur on the seabed, and elucidate the critical role that these phenomena play in global Earth systems. This observatory is based on observation sites (or nodes) that have been deployed in strategic locations in European seas, from the Arctic to the Atlantic, from the Mediterranean to the Black Sea. There are currently eleven deep water nodes plus four shallow water test nodes. EMSO Western Ligurian is one of these permanent underwater observatories located in the Ligurian Sea and is deployed off Toulon, France. This region was chosen for its particular scientific interests such as: seismicity, topography, turbidity, biodiversity, water mass dynamics and organic matter flow. This underwater observation network is also part of KM3NeT (https://www.km3net.org/) which has a modular topology designed to connect up to 120 neutrino detection units. Earth and Sea Science (ESS) instrumentation connected to KM3NeT is based on two complementary components: an instrumented interface module (MII) and an autonomous instrumented line (ALBATROSS). The ALBATROSS line is an inductive line (2000 m) composed of an acoustic communication system, two inductive cables equipped with Conductivity, Temperature, Depth (CTD)-O2 sensors, current meters and two instrumented buoys. This line is deployed at a distance of 2-3 kilometers from the MII, and communication on land is done by an acoustic link with the MII, and electro-optical cable via the KM3NeT node.

欧洲多学科海底和水柱观测站（EMSO）是一个遍布欧洲的海底和水柱观测研究基础设施。该设施旨在进一步探索海洋，更深入地理解海底发生的现象，并阐明这些现象在全球地球系统中的关键作用。该观测站基于已部署在欧洲海域战略性位置的观测站点（或节点），从北极到大西洋，从地中海到黑海均有分布。目前共有十一个深海节点以及四个浅水测试节点。EMSO西利古里亚站是位于利古里亚海的这些永久性水下观测站之一，位于法国托尔农附近。该地区因其特殊的科学兴趣而被选中，如地震学、地形学、混浊度、生物多样性、水体动力学和有机物质流动。此水下观测网络也是KM3NeT（https://www.km3net.org/）的一部分，KM3NeT采用模块化拓扑结构，旨在连接多达120个中微子检测单元。连接至KM3NeT的地球与海洋科学（ESS）仪器基于两个互补组件：一个仪器化接口模块（MII）和一个自主仪器化线路（ALBATROSS）。ALBATROSS线路是一条感应线路（2000米），由一个声学通信系统、两条配备有电导率、温度、深度（CTD）-O2传感器、流速计以及两个仪器化浮标的感应电缆组成。该线路部署在距离MII 2-3公里的地方，陆地上的通信通过声学链路与MII进行，并通过KM3NeT节点使用电光电缆。
