PLOME Objectives

PLOME Objectives

Overall Objective

The overall objective of the PLOME project is to design, develop and validate several key aspects that will enable the proposed concept. To do so, 7 objectives will be tackled: 
        • O.1: To design a framework for deep-sea marine monitoring with a platform of fixed and mobile systems. 
        •  O.2: To develop technological capabilities to enable the prolonged deployment of AUVs at deep-sea for marine observation
        •  O.3: To develop interconnected long-lasting stand-alone stations as a strategic multiparametric platform for continuous ecosystem monitoring.
        •  O.4: To develop an effective communication strategy combining heterogeneous technologies for the operation of the different deployed systems. 
        •  O.5: To develop techniques for processing and analyzing different kinds of marine data gathered from mobile and fixed stations. 
        •  O.6: To conduct demonstrations of the overall PLOME concept and new developments in real operational scenarios
        •  O.7: To disseminate the project outcomes to target audiences and key stakeholders, including policymakers, and ensure that the results live on in the research community and in a commercial context. 
        •  
      The project will validate the different developments and the overall concept in three proof-of-concept consortium experiments: 1) in a coastal environment;  2) in a deep marine protected area; and  3) during one-week in the OBSEA cabled observatory.
