EMSO Western Ligurian : Albatross mooring, MICROCAT sensor (CSV files 2021-07 to 2023-05)

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）是一项遍布欧洲的海底和水柱观测基础设施。其宗旨在于进一步探索海洋奥秘，深入理解海底发生的各种现象，并阐释这些现象在全球地球系统中所扮演的关键角色。该观测站依托于在欧洲海域战略性位置部署的观测站点（或节点），范围从北极至大西洋，从中东至黑海。目前共有十一个深海节点及四个浅水测试节点。EMSO西利古里亚站是其中一座永久性水下观测站，位于利古里亚海，并部署于法国土伦附近。该地区因其特殊的科学兴趣而被选中，包括地震学、地形学、浑浊度、生物多样性、水体动力学以及有机物质流动。此水下观测网络亦属于KM3NeT（https://www.km3net.org/）项目，该项目采用模块化拓扑结构，旨在连接多达120个中微子探测单元。与KM3NeT相连的地球与海洋科学（ESS）仪器基于两个互补组件：仪器接口模块（MII）和自主仪器线（ALBATROSS）。ALBATROSS线是一条由声学通信系统、两根配备有电导率、温度、深度（CTD）-O2传感器、流速计以及两个仪器浮标的感应线（2000米长）。该线部署在距离MII 2-3公里的地方，陆地与MII之间的通信通过声学链路实现，并通过KM3NeT节点使用电光电缆。
