A workshop was held on October 16th to 18th 2013 at the Villefranche observatory to outline progress on emerging technologies within the JERICO FP7 project (Work-package 10). A particular focus of the workshop was to invite researchers outside the project consortium to:
• Learn of technology developments within JERICO and
• Present results of their own experiments and technology development
The workshop was a mixture of invited talks and practical demonstrations of some of the technologies involved. There were a total of 24 invited talks and 2 additional practical demonstrations.
The talks focused on 5 key tasks within the emerging technologies area:
10.1 Biological compartments
10.2 Contaminants
10.3 Profiling technologies
10.4 Ships/vessels of opportunity
10.5 Ferrybox Quality Control algorithm development
In parallel to the workshop, DO sensors inter-comparison exercise has been done in Villefranche/Mer (following the calibration experiment done in IFREMER, Brest). The objective was to compare the accuracy and precision of existing sensors used in coastal oceanography. Five sensors have been selected: SBE43 and SBE63 (SEABIRD), optode 4330 and 3975 (Aanderaa) and one HOBO (Onset). These sensors have been deployed 2 times at 2 depths (October and December 2013) with successive oxygen Winkler sampling (used as reference).
More details will be available on the report (in preparation).
This report contains a summary of the work presented by various researchers who attended the workshop. The slides of each presentation are listed in this report, section by section.
