In the activities of the RITMARE flagship project (Ricerca Italiana per il Mare, Italian Research for the Sea), prof. Michele Mossa’s research group of the Civil, Environmental, Building Engineering and Chemistry Department (DICATECh) of the Technical University of Bari - Italy (research unit of the Co.N.I.S.Ma. - Technical University of Bari), in cooperation with the research unit of Co.N.I.S.Ma. - University of Bari, has installed a system in the Canale Navigabile of the Mar Piccolo of Taranto (Italy) for the monitoring of sea currents and waves.
Technical data of the automatic monitoring of the Mar Piccolo –Taranto (Italy)Remote control system
LISC MASTER - Logical Intelligent System Control with firmware “Event detector”, non-volatile internal memory of 1 GB, interfacing with meteorologic sensors.
Optional sensor for the LISC MASTER: compass, pitch and roll.
Communictaion systemGSM/GPRS/UMTS.
Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler for sea velocity and direction at 128 levelsTRDI 600 kHz (Monitor configuration). The Monitor is Teledyne RD Instruments’ most popular direct-reading Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP). The unit is typically bottom frame-mounted and hard-wired to shore to provide real-time monitoring of coastal currents. The Monitor’s high data accuracy and reliability make it a favorite for deployments in highvolume traffic areas such as ports and harbors, where the data is often integrated into a Vessel Traffic Monitoring System. In fact, the Monitor has been selected for most major port programs undertaken in the United States.
Workhorse Waves Array (Firmware and software for wave measurements)Directional Wave Measurement Option For Workhorse Adcps for highly accurate multi-directional wave measurements.
