2. Current Status of the Observatory/Mooring Acqua Alta Oceanographic Tower has been installed in 1970, after 45 years of activity a complete revamping has been scheduled for the next spring. It’s however continues to host a growing number of sensors and activities, during the project three SBE Microcats have been deployed at three levels with sampling every 5’, A Contros CO2 have been tested Real time transmission capabilities have been improved with the adoption of a supplementary wi-fi link assuring link redundancy Workshop Ritmare Sp5-Wp3, Trieste 27-28 October 2015
