Heraklion Coastal Buoy

POSEIDON is an operational marine monitoring, forecasting and information system for the Greek Seas. The observing component is a distributed infrastructure made by three coastal buoys (Saronikos buoy-SB, Heraklion Coastal Buoy-HCB and Athos buoy-AB) and one FerryBox (PFB). A calibration laboratory (see Chapter 2) is supporting the observing activities. The Heraklion Coastal Buoy will be deployed towards the beginning of 2016 between Dia Island and Heraklion city, equipped with meteo, T, C/S, wave sensors and current meter. Furthermore DO, fluorescence and turbidity sensors at various depths in the euphotic zone will be added in the near future. The location is of particular interest as the coastal expression of the very oligotrophic Cretan Sea ecosystem, modulated by the moderate to small riverine inputs and the rural activities in the Northern Crete.
