DATA COLLECTION PLATFORMS OFF THE COAST OF ARGENTINA

This workshop focused on implementing a mathematical model for predicting oceanic and coastal marine currents and collecting in-situ information using coastal and oceanic environmental buoys, oceanographic research vessels, and remote sensing. The goal was to standardize information and improve the quality of life for coastal inhabitants.

  1. DATA COLLECTION PLATFORMS OFF THE COAST OF ARGENTINA Troisi A., Vetere F., Firpo A ARMADA ARGENTINAServicio de Hidrografía Naval DBCP 21 Scientific and Technical Workshop 17-18 October 2005, Buenos Aires, Argentina

  2. “PREVENCION DE LA CONTAMINACION COSTERA Y GESTION DE LA BIODIVERSIDAD MARINA” GEF 28385-AR-UNDP ARG/02/018

  3. PRIMARY OBJECTIVE … “contribute to the preservation of the biological diversity and prevent and mitigate marine-coastal pollution, improving the quality of life of the inhabitants of the region” MAIN GOALS … • Implementing a mathematical model to predict the oceanic and coastal marine currents • Collecting in situ information by means of a coastal and an oceanic environmental buoy • Collecting in situ information from oceanographic research vessels • Obtaining information by means of remote sensing • Elaboration of an environmental sensibility atlas • Standardization of information through intercallibration of laboratories

  4. AREA OF INTEREST

  5. COASTAL BUOY • Wind speed and direction (Young 04106-19 JR MA) • Air pressure (Vaisala PTB 220 Class A) • Air temperature (Omega O-905-44031) • Humidity (Vaisala HMP 45A) • Current meter (Aanderaa DCS 3900R) • Conductivity/Temperature, surface & 5m (Seabird SBE 37-SI Microcat CT) • Flurometer (Chelsea HB176) • Dissolved oxygen (Royce 96A) • Electronic compass OCEANIC BUOY • Wind speed and direction (Young 04106-19 JR MA) • Air pressure (Vaisala PTB 220 Class A) • Air temperature (Omega O-905-44031) • Humidity (Vaisala HMP 45A) • Current meter with temperature (Nortek, continental 190kHz-200m) • Conductivity/Temperature, 6 levels (Seabird SBE 37-SI Microcat CT) • Flurometer (Chelsea HB176) • Dissolved oxygen (Royce 96A) • Electronic compass Fugro-Oceanor “Wavescan”
