Sicily Channel Observatory 01

ISMAR OS is a system around Italy and is composed by 11 fixed platforms, HF radars, a glider. The

installations proposed for TNA embrace different marine environments and can be used

independently.

SiCO is a twin-mooring system placed is in a key area connecting the Eastern and Western

Mediterranean Sea. Equipped with current profilers and CTD probes, it continuously monitor surface

and intermediate exchange of water masses and properties between the basins. A pCO2 probe isinstalled in SiCO1 near the bottom to widen the contribution of the observatory to climate studies

and ocean acidification research. The site is part of the CIESM Hydro-Changes Programme.
