Challenges and Innovations in Ocean In-Situ Sensors: Measuring Inner Ocean Processes and Health in the Digital Age highlights collaborations of industry and academia in identifying the key challenges and solutions related to ocean observations. A new generation of sensors is presented that addresses the need for higher reliability (e.g. against biofouling), better integration on platforms in terms of size and communication, and data flow across domains (in-situ, space, etc.). Several developments are showcased using a broad diversity of measuring techniques and technologies. Chapters address different sensors and approaches for measurements, including applications, quality monitoring and initiatives that will guide the need for monitoring.
- Integrates information across key marine and maritime sectors and supports regional policy requirements on monitoring programs
- Offers tactics for enabling early detection and more effective monitoring of the marine environment and implementation of appropriate management actions
- Presents new technologies driving the next generation of sensors, allowing readers to understand new capabilities for monitoring and opportunities for another generation of sensors
- Includes a global vision for ocean monitoring that fosters a new perspective on the direction of ocean measurements

Eric Delory
Dr Delory is currently Head of the Observatory at the Oceanic Platform of the Canary Islands. He coordinates NeXOS, a European collaborative project that develops new in-situ ocean sensors, through innovations aimed at increasing cost-efficiency of ocean observing systems, e.g. more reliable, interoperable, multifunctional optical and acoustic sensors. He has led the effort of the European Seas Observatory Network (ESONET) of transposing Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS) guidelines to sensor and data interoperability on European seafloor and water column observatories. He co-authored more than a hundred publications in the above fields.
