Web Tools
Tools that reside on the internet and allow FixO3 education providers and users to
manipulate FixO3 data, models and other resources.
Web-based
Information and/or an application made available via the World Wide Web and requiring a
web-browser for access (see http://techcollab.csumb.edu/techsheet2.1/glossary.html).
Well-coupled
To obtain high resolution seismic measurements, sensors are either buried in sediments in a
caisson (broadband measurements) filled with silica beads or placed in drill holes in basaltic
substrate or in seismonuments. This allows direct contact of the sensor to the seafloor
(coupling) and an acoustically quiet environment in terms of anthropogenic “noise” and that
from currents.
Wet-mateable connector
Electrical and/or fiber-optic connector that can be mate/de-mated under water, at depth, by a
ROV.
Wire-Following Profiler
A profiler that ascends and descends along a mooring wire segment.
Workflow
Sequence of work steps in a complex structure. Workflows can be pre-programmed or static,
can have dynamic decision points, or can be composed dynamically.
Workstation
Computer to run Element or Observatory Management System software.
