The "Smart Bay Santa Teresa Underwater Observatory" - Current data

In July 2024 a preliminary real-time monitoring and transmission system based on wireless underwater networking (IoUT) has been implemented in the harbour of La Spezia, aiming to create an early warning system for temperature increase and to monitor oxygen and pH level. Currently the Smart Bay Santa Teresa Underwater Observatory is equipped with a system of transmission nodes (EMBRC-UP) connected to advanced probes (RAISE), distributed in 12 stations throughout the Gulf. Physical-chemical data (temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, conductivity, current, turbidity, chlorophyll) are acquired with a frequency of 1 data per hour and transmitted in real time, validated with analytical approaches and weekly and monthly measurement campaigns conducted by ENEA. Biogeochemical are analytically measured (total alkalinity, pH) and derived (pCO2, saturation state, dissolved inorganic carbon) weekly and monthly, together with high precision data profiles (measured by means of a CTD probe).

RAISE is an innovation ecosystem funded by the Ministry of University and Research under the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP, Mission 4, Component 2, Investment 1.5).
