attribute NC_GLOBAL summary String The SmartBay Observatory in Galway Bay is an underwater observatory which uses
cameras, probes and sensors to permit continuous and remote live underwater monitoring. It was installed in 2015
on the seafloor 1.5km off the coast of Spiddal, Co. Galway, Ireland at a depth of 20-25m. Underwater
observatories allow ocean researchers unique real-time access to monitor ongoing changes in the marine
environment. The Galway Bay Observatory is an important contribution by Ireland to the growing global network of
real-time data capture systems deployed in the ocean. Data relating to the marine environment at the Galway
Observatory site is transferred in real-time through a fibre optic telecommunications cable to the Marine
Institute headquarters and then made publically available on the internet. The data includes a live video
stream, the depth of the observatory node, the water temperature and salinity, and estimates of the chlorophyll
and turbidity levels in the water which give an indication of the volume of phytoplankton and other particles,
such as sediment, in the water. Maintenance take place on the observatory every 18 to 24 months. A WetLabs
ECO-FLNTU is installed on the observatory infrastructure. It measures the fluorescence of the seawater to give
an estimate of the volume of chlorophyll present (indicative of the amount of phytoplankton in the seawater) and
it measures turbidity, or the 'cloudiness' of the seawater, caused by the presence of particles such as sediment
from the seabed suspended in the water. The sensor is deployed on the EMSO Smartbay Cable End Equipment Node in
Galway Bay in approx. 25m depth of water.
