THE SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL WORKSHOP
OF THE DATA BUOY COOPERATION PANEL (DBCP) XXV
Envirtech
presented to the most qualified international community the
new buoy Envirtech MKI
for sea waves
measurement based on innovative
MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems)
technology.
The buoy is equipped with meteorological
sensors, CTD sensor, main radio link and satellite modem as back
up communication system.
The same buoy can integrate a surface acoustic modem to interface
underwater modules (UM). The main UM developed by Envirtech
is the POSEIDON system to monitor tsunami waves from 100mwd to
6000mwd. The presentation will be
focused on the main innovative technological aspects of the
buoy and the POSEIDON
class tsunameters and will illustrate
samples of real acquired data in Mediterranean sea and in Indian
Ocean.

Following an Envirtech Tsunami
Warning System presentation, held in Guangzhou (Canton) a
Chinese State Oceanographic Administration delegation has
visited the Apat control room related to the italian sea waves
network and the italian tide gauges network. Real time data coming
from 3 deep ocean envirtech tsunameters have been highly
apreciated. During the meeting hosted in APAT, researchers from
the European Commission Joint Research Center (JRC - Ispra)
have presented the European model for Tsunami waves propagation
forecast.

"Poseidon Class" Envirtech tsunameter DS2, built for the
indian National Institute of Ocean Technology, has been
successfully deployed on a 3373 meters depth seafloor. Soon the DS2 started to transmit, via acoustic modem,
telemetry and sea levels data collected by the very high precision
pressure transducer and elaborated by the ARM CPU.
At present Envirtech "Poseidon Class" Tsunameters are the most reliable devices in the
world able to measure and assess the real occurrence of
tsunami waves. More on

MeTAS DS2,
second prototype deep station for real
time tsunami
measuring in the Mediterranean Sea,
has been successfully tested few miles off shore Palermo,
Sicily.
The platform has been equipped with Paroscientific high
precision pressure gauge and related envirtech
ARM datalogger, hosted in titanium vessels.
A customized, very powerful,
litium battery pack has been used to obtain more than 2 years of
power autonomy.
In this second platform will be tested an underwater
telecommunication system based on magneto-inductive transceivers.
The DS2 Deep Station (Vulcan Class) could be
configured to collect many other parameters using
seismometers, Hydrophones, quality probes, current profilers
and so on. In this way, together the
companion buoy equipped with meteorological station and further
transducers, it will be implemented up-to-date real time
seafloor observatory
able to increase the benefit/cost ratio of any Tsunami
Warning System.

Indian Tsunameters
1th June, 2006
First two systems for indian
National Institute of Ocean Technology (NIOT)
have been
preliminary successfully tested at sea (see
video stream). A new class (Poseidon)
of realtime seafloor observatories, for tsunami
assessment, has been developed by Envirtech labs to satisfy
the growing request for high reliability
equipments able to monitor tsunami waves with no uncertainty
respect estimation of land seismic networks. Until precise
models able to correlate Earthquakes and Tsunami waves
will be not available, deep ocean seafloor devices will continue
to be the only choose to avoid fails in
tsunami assessment. According to the seismologist Harsh K Gupta
declarations released at the 93rd Indian
science Congress: "unlike
the pacific tsunami warning system which generates large number of
false alarms, the system being developed by Indian scientists
would be fool-proof".
