Objectives:<br />

One objective is to identify the technical and cost related topics to be addressed either through<br />

internati<strong>on</strong>al cooperati<strong>on</strong>, through the direct input of Antares, Nemo (European project<br />

operating cabled observatories) or through additi<strong>on</strong>al activities proposed as a reply to the “test<br />

call” issued in spring 2009 by <strong>ESONET</strong>.<br />

This panel will determine the needed studies necessary to establish what are the comm<strong>on</strong><br />

practices and corresp<strong>on</strong>ding recommendati<strong>on</strong>s and write a short report <strong>on</strong> this matter (report<br />

to EMSO Preparatory Phase).<br />

4.3.1.2 Panel sessi<strong>on</strong>s<br />

Panel P2.1 – “Design comparis<strong>on</strong>-Cabled observatories” led by Jaume Piera (UPC) and Jean<br />

Marvaldi (IFREMER).<br />

Infrastructure visit: Prototype facilities, marine materials labs and tour of IFREMER.<br />

No representative of Sicily <strong>ESONET</strong> Node (Nemo site for KM3Net) were present.<br />

a) After a presentati<strong>on</strong> of the experience of the attending pers<strong>on</strong>s, the sessi<strong>on</strong>s were devoted<br />

to two major case studies. First case is the Snohvit gas field infrastructure where a cable<br />

c<strong>on</strong>necti<strong>on</strong> is foreseen through a cooperati<strong>on</strong> with Statoil.<br />

b) The sec<strong>on</strong>d case is the KM3Net earth-sea science extensi<strong>on</strong>. Three <strong>ESONET</strong> sites are also<br />

KM3Net sites where neutrino telescope c<strong>on</strong>structi<strong>on</strong> is planned. The final document of<br />

KM3Net must reflect this comm<strong>on</strong> interest.<br />

The panel worked <strong>on</strong> a preliminary versi<strong>on</strong> of the TDR (Technical Design <str<strong>on</strong>g>Report</str<strong>on</strong>g>) chapter <strong>on</strong><br />

Earth-Sea science (author Univ. Aberdeen – KM3Net Design study WP9) and an IFREMER<br />

c<strong>on</strong>tributi<strong>on</strong> dated September 2009.<br />

c) The experiments <strong>on</strong> cabled observatories have been limited during the first part of<br />

<strong>ESONET</strong>. That is why the Steering Committee decided to open a call for tests <strong>on</strong> cabled<br />

observatories. The testing areas range from coastal (OBSEA, Koljofjord) to deep sea<br />

(Antares, NEMO). As a general reflecti<strong>on</strong> <strong>on</strong> the plans for these experiments, the status of the<br />

proposals to the “Test Call” was reviewed. The group provided comments in order to improve<br />

the final program of the <strong>ESONET</strong> test experiments <strong>on</strong> cabled sites.<br />
