European Multidisciplinary Sea floor and water column Observatory, Portugal

The project European Multidisciplinary Sea floor and water column Observatory, Portugal (EMSO-PT) is a European Large Scale Research Infrastructure, consisting of multidisciplinary underwater observatories and other data processing support infrastructures. The goal of EMSO-PT is to generate continuous scientific data on marine environmental processes related to the interaction between the geosphere, biosphere and hydrosphere.

This movie presents the water column profiler operated by CCMAR – Centro de Ciências do Mar, and the deep sea observatory called the EGIM (EMSO Generic Instrument Module).
