Acoustic Communication network for Monitoring of underwater Environments in coastal areas

Project OverviewThe EU fifth-framework project ACME concerns the continuous monitoring of the coastal underwater environment in areas such as shipping lanes
and fishing areas. In these environments data transport with cables is impossible owing to fisheries and dredging activities, or simply
prohibited (e.g. radio buoys in shipping lanes.) These areas pose specifically high demands to the robustness of acoustic communication
links. Close shipping, rapidly changing propagation conditions and shallow-water multipath propagation are real challenges for underwater
communication. More information : on ACME web site
Data ManagementThe data management objective is to insure safeguarding and easy but controlled access to the data collected. The methodologoly is to safegard the data sets in a perennial system with indexation in WWW catalogue. The classical data (CTD, vertical bathymetry) and meta-data (cruise reports and documentation) are formatted, checked for quality and archived according to the existing internationally agreed standard. The specific acoustic data are indexed in a RDBS system and archived at the ACME format. The data
catalogue is publicly available; the data are restricted to the partnership
during the project implementation. For more information, contact the project
management.
