Abstract:
|
The objective of the NeXOS project is to develop
cost-effective, innovative, and compact multifunctional sensor
systems in ocean optics, ocean passive acoustics and for an
Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries (EAF), which can be deployed
from mobile and fixed platforms, with data services contributing
to the GEOSS, the Marine Strategy Framework Directive
(MSFD) and the Common Fisheries Policy of the European
Union. The development of innovative hydrophones focuses on
the pre and post-processing of acoustic information and
improved transducer integration, reducing size and overall
procurement and operations cost while increasing functionality.
An important part of the effort will focus on the need for greater
dynamic range and the integration on autonomous platforms,
such as gliders and profilers. Embedded processing will be
reconfigurable, allowing for the monitoring of MSFD Good
Environmental Status descriptors 1 (Biodiversity) and 11
(Underwater Noise) as minimal requirements. The first phase of
the project consisted in interacting with scientific communities
and the industry in order to narrow down initial requirements
and possibly extend the planned functionalities to new
applications. |
