Scripps, NOAA, SubCom Partner On Gabled Sensor Deployment

摘要

The Scripps Institution of Oceanography; NOAA's Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory and TE SubCom (Morristown, New Jersey) announced in February they are in initial discussion stages to integrate scientific instruments, such as seismometers, pressure gauges and comprehensive climate sensors (e.g., acoustic tomography and water column temperature and conductivity), on fiber-optic communications cables stretching thousands of miles along the Pacific Ocean floor. These cables can transmit data at a maximum of 40 gigabits per second.
