Description
The W1M3A observing system is one of the most important infrastructures of the National Research Council of Italy and it is part of the network of deep ocean European observatories, and the two ERICs EMSO and ICOS. The open sea laboratory is moored in the middle of the Ligurian Sea, inside the area known as the "Cetaceans Sanctuary" on the route between Genoa and Cape Corse, about 80 Km off the coast of Liguria where the water depth is about 1200 m. The observatory helps to monitor the conditions and the sea state of the Ligurian basin by continuously acquiring meteorological, physical, bio-geochemical and wave measurements. The collected data are transmitted in near real time to the station ashore to be used by national and international agencies and institutions.
The buoy can be also imagined as a "miniature island" able to offer a substrate for the development of a rich biological community. Many organisms settle and develop on the buoy, colonising its entire underwater surface.
