NeMO NeT system design

NeMO Net deployment

 

NeMO NeT: NeMO Net: A near-real-time system which will link instruments located in the caldera of an active submarine volcano, 1 mile underwater and about 300 miles off Oregon's coast, to the Internet.

NeMO NeT is a breakthrough in ocean engineering utilizing an acoustic modem to relay data from three temperature probes and a camera to a moored buoy, which in turn send the data to NOAA's Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory via a GOES satellite. The prototype system, operational for one month in 1999 (see representative data below) will be succeeded by a more advanced system during a cruise beginning June 29, 2000. The new system, also to be located at the NeMO seafloor site, is planned to be operational for a year. (See Location Map).

Cumulative temperature data

 

Daily temperature plotTemperature is measured once an hour by each of three probes. Every 24 hours the resulting 72 temperature measurements are transmitted to the laboratory.
