SmartBay Observatory NRT sensor feed - WetLabs ECO-FLNTU fluorescence and turbidity data

The SmartBay Observatory in Galway Bay is an underwater observatory which uses cameras, probes and sensors to permit continuous and remote live underwater monitoring. The observatory was installed in 2015 on the seafloor 1.5km off the coast of Spiddal, Co. Galway, Ireland at a depth of 20-25m. Underwater observatories allow ocean researchers unique real-time access to monitor ongoing changes in the marine environment. The SmartBay Observatory is an important contribution by Ireland to the growing global network of real-time data capture systems deployed in the ocean. Data relating to the marine environment at the SmartBay Observatory site is transferred in real-time through a fibre optic telecommunications cable to the Marine Institute headquarters and then made publically available on the internet. The data includes a live video stream, the depth of the observatory node, the water temperature and salinity, and estimates of the chlorophyll and turbidity levels in the water which give an indication of the volume of phytoplankton and other particles, such as sediment, in the water. Maintenance take place on the observatory every 18 to 24 months. A WetLabs ECO-FLNTU is installed on the observatory infrastructure. It measures the fluorescence of the seawater to give an estimate of the volume of chlorophyll present (indicative of the amount of phytoplankton in the seawater) and it measures turbidity, or the 'cloudiness' of the seawater, caused by the presence of particles such as sediment from the seabed suspended in the water. The sensor is deployed on the EMSO Smartbay Cable End Equipment Node in Galway Bay in approx. 25m depth of water.

位于爱尔兰戈尔韦湾的SmartBay观测站是一处水下观测站，它通过使用摄像机、探测器及传感器，实现了对水下环境的持续远程实时监控。该观测站于2015年安装在距爱尔兰戈尔韦郡斯皮达尔海岸1.5公里处的海底，深度介于20至25米之间。水下观测站为海洋研究人员提供了独特的实时访问权限，以便监控海洋环境的持续变化。SmartBay观测站是爱尔兰对全球日益增长的水下实时数据捕获系统网络的重要贡献。与SmartBay观测站地点相关的海洋环境数据通过光纤通信电缆实时传输至海洋研究所总部，并在互联网上公开发布。数据包括实时视频流、观测站节点的深度、水温及盐度，以及水中叶绿素和浑浊度水平的估算，这些数据可以指示浮游植物及其他颗粒物，如沉积物在水中的含量。观测站的维护工作每18至24个月进行一次。观测站基础设施上安装了一台WetLabs ECO-FLNTU设备。该设备通过测量海水的荧光来估算叶绿素含量（指示海水中的浮游植物数量），并测量由海底沉积物等颗粒物悬浮于水中引起的浑浊度，即海水的‘混浊度’。该传感器部署在位于戈尔韦湾EMSOSmartbay电缆末端设备节点上，水深约25米。
