ESONET Contract no.036851/Periodic Activity Report/3 rd Period were approved, with the indication from the Steering Committee that two of them be merged as they both concentrated on the Artic node. According to the same document structure set up during the 1 st Call, the implementation plans, i.e. the reference documents for each DM development, were collected for the new DMs, AOEM and MODOO, in Spring 2009. The process of signing the Grant Agreements, which constitutes the formal framework for the development of the DMs, was thus started. An updated summary of the DMs approved by the ESONET Steering Committee is given in Table 4.1 and Fig. 4.1.

ESONET Contract no.036851/Periodic Activity Report/3 rd Period Figure 4.1. Location of ESONET demonstration missions According to the ESONET DoW, periodic reports of each in-progress DM (LIDO, LOOME, MARMARA-DM, MOMAR-D) and the ones that have just started (AOEM and MODOO), were due in May 2009 from the DM Coordinators to complete the 2 nd Periodic Report on DM status (D45a) and deliver it by June 2009. The Marmara DM semester report was sent in September 2009, during the preparation and organisation of the 2 nd All Regions Workshop. This caused an additional delay and the final version of D45a was completed and delivered in early November 2009. In spite of this delay, the 2 nd All Regions Workshop provided the opportunity to have a general view on and discuss the status of the work developed by the Partners in the DMs, with additional details on the first scientific and technical results. Period 3 of ESONET has been fundamental for the development of the DMs, because for most DMs, the technical work needs to be completed for the experiments at sea planned for the second half of 2009. The LOOME DM continued to monitor the Håkon Mosby mud volcano (Norwegian Margin) already started the previous year. A new seafloor platform equipped with sensors was deployed together with an OBS to extend the recording of measurements previously acquired with autonomous sensors (e.g., temperature and pore pressure). The LIDO DM proceeded with a new deployment of the GEOSTAR multi-parameter observatory and its instrumented surface buoy at the Iberian Margin site, in collaboration with the NEAREST EC Project to detect potential tsunami signals and subsequently notify a shore station. The enhanced NEMO-SN1 observatory, following hardware and software adaptations, underwent a test phase in view of deployment in Summer 2010. The MARMARA-DM developed a set of sea operations geared to the characterisation of the seismogenic fault area using acoustic detection of gas emissions, AUV micro-bathymetry and sea-bottom deployment of BOB (acoustic gas bubble detector), en-route surveys to map and sample dissolved gas in the water column and high-resolution 3D seismic surveys on the western area. Deployment of seafloor monitoring modules included SN-4, a seafloor multiparameter observatory of the GEOSTAR type, and 10 OBSs and 5 piezometers. April 2010 39
