Popis: | Detecting and predicting changes in coastal and open-ocean ecosystems is a significant undertaking requiring detailed and often real-time monitoring of physical, geological and chemical parameters. Following the guidelines and general objectives established by GOOS (Global Ocean Observing System) through its coastal ecosystems module COOP (Coastal Ocean Observations Panel), this paper describes the design, first development stages and some derived results of a monitoring network named Red ACOMAR Canarias (Red de Alerta, Control y Observaci on MARina de Canarias, or Network for Marine Surveillance, Control and Observation in the Canaries) developed in the Macaronesia region. Established in 1999, Red ACOMAR is based on a core project supported through several programmes focused on the coastal and open-ocean areas around the Canary Islands archipelago. The network integrates a wide range of devices and monitoring systems (moored and drifting buoys, gliders, remote sensing, turtles, land-based meteorological ... |
