ALOHA Cabled Observatory
• Will use components from the earlier ALOHA-MARS Mooring project at APL-UW
• Seafloor secondary node• Bottom instrument package with science
isntrument interface module (SIIM) and sensors (CTDO2, BB2F)
• Cables and connectors• Underwater video camera
ALOHA-MARS Mooring
• Implemented only on short scale – 30 m high in Puget Sound
• For ACO – use seafloor secondary node and bottom instrument package
• And cables
Bottom instrument packageBottom instrument package
Secondary node
Seafloor bottom instrument package
• Here set up to goat base of mooring, on mooring line
AMM Secondary seafloor node
• Test tank at MBARI
• Orange is syntactic foam to make near neutrally buoyant to facilitate ROV moving it on seafloor
• 5 ROV-mate Receptacle cables
AMM Secondary node and SIIM
• Without syntactic foam (simple deployment Puget Sound
• Bottom instrument package/SIIM hard connected behind
Bottom instrument package
• SIIM (left)• 2 CTDO2
• 1 BB2f fluorometer/backscatter (black unit)
• Syntactic foam to get near neutral buoyancy
• Green Falmut cable connecting to secondary node
Science Instrument Interface Module (SIIM)
• 8 channels for sensors
• Industrial ethernet• One ROV plug cable• Titanium pressure
case 6000 m
Electro-optical (EO) converters
• For seafloor cable, 1.5 km here (black)
• Converts electrical Ethernet to optical for long run, and back
• Runs off 48 V from local node
• Has a ROV-mate plug cable at each end
