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 SmartBay 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 SmartBay
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.This dataset
comprises of processed acoustic data that has been collected from the SmartBay Observatory using an icListen HF
Smart Hydrophone – a digital hydrophone that processes and stores acoustic data. The dataset comprises of
processed data, collected from the SmartBay Observatory since its installation in 2015. The wide frequency range
hydrophone is installed on a separate lander approximately 30m away from the EMSO Smartbay Cable End Equipment
Node in Galway Bay in approx. 25m depth of water at 53 degrees 13.640'N 9 degrees 15.979'W.
The SmartBay Observatory was funded in part by a grant from Science
Foundation Ireland under Grant Number 12/RI/2331. Ongoing operation of the observatory is funded by the Marine
Institute and Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland.
