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 />

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 />
