Technological innovation has provided oceanography with tools for observation, analysis and data sharing that increase the rate at which society can benefit from our understanding of the environment. While most of the innovations have come from outside oceanography such as electronics, the analog to digital revolution, microprocessors and the Internet, many have been invented by ocean engineers such as the CTD, underwater acoustic telemetry and autonomous underwater vehicles. The consequences of not having these tools would have been a vastly decreased observational base of data and information and consequent understanding of earth processes including climate change, ocean acidification and other phenomena of social concern. Fiscal concerns threaten innovation in oceanography as in other social activities. It is presumed that freezing technological innovation at the present stage will impede observations, analyses and understanding resulting in unwise policies on a global scale to social detriment for all mankind. The establishment in the IEEE/Oceanic Engineering Society of the Innovative Technology Committee in May 2011 has provided impetus for this paper.

The multidisciplinary nature of these projects creates particular problems in that different sensors may require completely different time scales of data acquisition.…”

Marine Sensor Networks are emergent and powerful tools for oceanic and environmental observation, because provide wide temporal and geographic coverage under multidisciplinary view. The management of the heterogeneity of instrumentation and data involved in these networks is one of the main challenges for their successful implementation. Policy Based Network Management technologies are well suited for simplify management tasks of complex and dynamic networks. This paper outlines the benefits of using policy based network management on Marine Sensor Networks. We also present an Information Model of the different entities present on these acquisition systems (instrumentation, network elements and data) and the policy model that could be used for manage them.

“…The first set of technologies encompasses the design and installation of wet plant hardware for submarine telecommunication systems based on state-of-the-art commercial practices. The second are derived from the use scenario/system engineering process described here, primarily for the NEPTUNE regional cabled observatory (Delaney et al, 2000;Rodgers et al, 2001;Massion et al, 2003). The authors believe that the issues and tradeoffs analyzed for NEPTUNE, and the system architecture derived from that formal design process, are generic, and apply to understanding the implementation of any cabled ocean observatory.…”

Future studies of episodic processes in the ocean and earth will require new tools to complement traditional, ship-based, expeditionary science. This will be enabled through the construction of innovative facilities called ocean observatories which provide unprecedented amounts of power and two-way bandwidth to access and control instrument networks in the oceans. The most capable ocean observatories are designed around a submarine fiber optic/power cable connecting one or more seafloor science nodes to the terrestrial power grid and communications backhaul. This paper defines the top level requirements that drive cabled observatory design and the system engineering environment within which a scientifically-capable infrastructure can be implemented. Commercial high reliability submarine telecommunication technologies which will be crucial in the design of long term cabled observatories are then reviewed. The top level architecture of a generic cabled observatory, describing the main subsystems comprising the whole and defining technological approaches to their engineering, is then described, along with some example design choices and tradeoff studies.
