- Abstract:
- Marine sensors needs to be tested in real and controlled environments in order to assure, both, proper functionality of the sensor and good enough measurements. Most of times is not enough testing on the lab. Field tests and an inter-comparison with similar sensors can help instruments manufactures, platform operators and scientist to validate instruments. This abstracts introduce OBSEA (Expandable Seafloor Observatory, www.obsea.es), a permanent underwater cabled seabed observatory located in front of the Catalan’s coast near Barcelona, at 20 m depth. Further, some of the current activities where the observatory is used as a test site for different experiments related with marine sensors metrology are presented.
