European Multidisciplinary Seafloor and water-column Observatory (EMSO) is a large-scale European distributed Research Infrastructure (RI) for ocean observation, enabling real-time interactive long term monitoring of ocean processes. EMSO allows study of the interaction between the geosphere, the biosphere, the hydrosphere, and the lithosphere; including natural hazards, climate change, and marine ecosystems. EMSO nodes have been deployed at key sites in European seas, starting from the Arctic, through the Atlantic and Mediterranean, to the Black Sea. ==Overview== EMSO is one of the environmental RIs 〔Paolo Favali, and Laura Beranzoli. "EMSO: European multidisciplinary seafloor observatory." Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment 602.1 (2009): 21-27.〕 on the Roadmap of the European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures(ESFRI). The ESRFI Roadmap identifies RIs of pan-European importance that correspond to the long term needs of European research communities. The different EMSO nodes were designed to address topics of regional importance: the biodiversity of mid ocean hot vents in the Azores region, the rapidly changing environmental conditions affecting the geosphere and biosphere of the Arctic, the deep-water ventilation in the eastern Mediterranean, the active seismicity and the associated geo-hazards of the Anatolian region.〔(Exploring the last great frontier ), Projects Magazine, Issue 10, p. 79-81〕 EMSO infrastructure has the capacity to observe the deep and open ocean, below, at and above the seafloor, at the European scale, utilizing both stand-alone observing systems, and nodes connected to shore stations through high throughput fibre optic cable.〔Favali, P., Beranzoli, L., D’Anna, G., Gasparoni, F., Marvaldi, J., Clauss, G., Gerber, H.W., Nicot, M., Marani, M.P., Gamberi, F., Millot, C., Flueh, E.R., 2006a. A fleet of multiparameter observatories for geophysical and environmental monitoring at seafloor. Annals of Geophysics 49, 659–680〕 The mission of EMSO is to unite these regional observatories into a common research infrastructure, to implement more generic sensor packages to collect synoptic data series on oceanographic features of more than regional interest, to bring these data together in a uniform format accessible to the general public, and to ensure maintenance of this research infrastructure over a longer time-span than easily maintained by national funding programs. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「European Multidisciplinary Seafloor and water column Observatory」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
