11. The E2-M3A observatory is located in the center of the Southern Adriatic, where deep convection and cascading of dense water take place, involving both the atmosphere and the ocean dynamics, and triggering the solubility and the biological pumps. The E2-M3A observatory is particularly devoted towards studies that characterize the long-term changes of Adriatic Sea in response to local climatic forcing. It can host self-recording instruments both on the surface buoy and on the deep mooring.

Variables measured include salinity, temperature, current, depth, turbidity, CDOM, chlorophyll-a, oxygen. Hosting of additional instruments: some of our gliders have an open architecture, thus can host a variety of sensors and communication systems, e.g. hydrophone, radiometer, PAR, modem, and small autonomous instruments. As part of TNA, the preparatory work may include test of equipment at the PLOCAN shore-side and offshore facilities, support on the interfacing, cruise preparation meetings. The teams involved in transnational access will participate to the deployment and to the recovery cruises. ESTOC (PLOCAN) 04 June 201412FixO3 Network | MMF54

19. General Information: The observatory operates since May 2007 in the SE Ionian Sea at a depth of 1670m. The observatory includes a water column component and an autonomous seabed platform. The water column component consists of a surface Wavescan type buoy equipped with sensors for meteorological, waves and surface oceanographic parameters as well as a suite of CTD sensors attached on the inductive mooring line (20, 50, 75, 100, 250, 400, 600, 1000m). The seabed component consists of an autonomous platform equipped with a high accuracy and sampling frequency pressure sensor for tsunami detection as part of an early warning system. The platform is also equipped with a CTD probe and dissolved oxygen sensor, offering at the same time near-floor deep observations in the Eastern Mediterranean sea. The mooring line also hosts a set of Passive Aquatic Listeners (PAL) for rainfall estimates and marine mammal acoustic detection. All sensors provide real time hydrological observations of this key-area.
