A survey on ocean observatory networks

Abstract

Ocean observation networks have become important data acquisition platform for marine scientific research. This paper first summarizes the characteristics of the ocean observation networks, briefly introduces the development history of the world in the field of ocean observatory networks, and then gives a detailed introduction to the research progress of the ocean observatory networks in various countries. The paper also points out the key technologies and initial solutions of the ocean observatory network system, and discusses the next step development of the seabed observatory networks.
