The MAMBO Miramare buoy site offers a multidisciplinary pilot platform suitable for the testing and experimentation of sensors and instrumentation.
The buoy is easily accessible from the land and moored in a protected area, it has its own power supply by means of solar panels and batteries. The buoy is equipped with the following instrumentation with data in near real time:
– weather station R.M Young Company (wind speed and direction, temperature, pressure and humidity)
– system for the study of the carbon cycle, placed at a depth of 1.5m and consisting of pCO2 Pro-Oceanus sensor, Ph SeaFET sensor, CT SBE37-ODO with optical oxygen sensor.
– SBE16 multi-parameter probe, located at a depth of 10 m, consisting of CTD, dissolved oxygen sensor, ph, fluorescence, turbidity and irradiance;
– SBE16 multiparameter probe at a depth of 15 m consisting of CTD, dissolved oxygen sensor, and ph.
The MAMBO buoy of Miramare has served as a testing laboratory for other buoys, variously configured, and for testing oceanographic sensors and instruments. The infrastructure is used for physical oceanography, chemical and biogeochemical (marine acidification) studies.
The MAMBO Miramare buoy is equipped with weather station, carbon cycle system pCO2 Pro-Oceanus
sensor, Ph SeaFET sensor, CT SBE37-ODO with optical O2 sensor; SBE16 multi-parameter probes.
Modality of access under this proposal: MoA1/MoA2. UA:day Modality used to
declare access costs: TA-UC
The installation is available for researchers to do research on physics , chemistry, and biogeochemistry. It is currently funded by OGS and and together with the nearby site C1 is an integral part of the L-TER and ICOS networks. The services offered are: – Installation of the instrumentation object of the TNA. – Power supply, if required. – Use of the data acquired by the instruments with which the buoy is equipped. – Access to the buoy with boat and technical staff. – Technical support with our staff for all installation operations required. – Support and assistance from our scientific staff in the evaluation of installation methods and in the evaluation of acquired data.
Technical support for all installation operations required; Support and assistance from our scientific staff in installation methods and in the evaluation of acquired data. Support offered under this proposal: Technicalsupport for instrument deployment planning, interfacing with observatory, and access to RT instrument data after deployment. Quality control of data is offered.
