ESONET Contract no.036851/<strong><strong>Period</strong>ic</strong> <strong>Activity</strong> <strong>Report</strong>/3 rd <strong>Period</strong><br />

to round out planning in demonstration missions (DMs) and have (or will) include workshops<br />

for Celtnet/Porcupine and Ligurian nodes. In addition, a new section focusing on acoustic<br />

observatory modules and objectives is being prepared. This is being led by FORTH. NERSC,<br />

CINTAL, and ULB. The specific topics include the role of sound in the observation of the<br />

ocean, inverse problems in underwater acoustics related to the monitoring of the marine<br />

environment, ocean acoustic tomography and geoacoustic inversions, acoustic observables<br />

and inversion techniques, instrumentation for ocean acoustic observatories, stationary vs.<br />

mobile observatories, deep-water vs. shallow-water issues, ongoing experiments and IPs. In<br />

their partner-level reporting for <strong>Period</strong> 3, several Partners indicated several progress areas that<br />

fall mostly outside of the DM activities and are only partially captured in D11 and or D13,<br />

including NGI, HCMR, FORTH, ULB, CNRS, NOCS, ITU, NERSC, and DEU-IMST.<br />

NGI deployed an autonomous piezometer system at a gas industry site with a water depth of<br />

1300 m. The monitoring system collects data at 18, 20, and 65 m below the seabed and 4<br />

months of data have already been recovered.<br />

CNRS/LOV developed and tested an underwater vision profiler to quantify marine particles<br />

including sedimentation and resuspension rates with a 3000 m depth rating, which can easily<br />

be modified.<br />
