Workshop on Arctic Ocean Observing Platforms and Technologies
Primary tabs
The workshop present opportunities and challenges related to: (1) sensors and platforms that are adapted to and can operate year-round in a harsh Arctic environment, (2) how to implement year-round data collection, and if possible including near real time (NRT) data transmission to data centres, and (3) integration and visualization of multidisciplinary data from distributed repositories.
We have invited Ocean Network Canada (ONC) to give a talk about cabled observatories for ocean observing systems. ONC is a large Canadian infrastructure for ocean observations (http://www.oceannetworks.ca/about-us). ONC operates large scale deep sea cabled systems as well as local scale cabled system in coastal areas including Cambridge Bay in the Arctic, which is ice-covered most of the year (http://www.oceannetworks.ca/installations/observatories/arctic/cambridge...). To handle the massive amount of data coming in from these observatories, ONC has developed an advanced information system including data integration and visualization.
