DATA COLLECTION PLATFORMS OFF THE COAST OF ARGENTINA
DBCP 21 Scientific and Technical Workshop 17-18 October 2005, Buenos Aires, Argentina
ARMADA ARGENTINAServicio de Hidrografía Naval
Troisi A., Vetere F., Firpo A
“PREVENCION DE LA CONTAMINACION COSTERA Y GESTION DE LA BIODIVERSIDAD MARINA”
GEF 28385-AR-UNDP ARG/02/018
MAIN GOALS …
• Implementing a mathematical model to predict the oceanic and coastal marine currents
• Collecting in situ information by means of a coastal and an oceanic environmental buoy
• Collecting in situ information from oceanographic research vessels
• Obtaining information by means of remote sensing
• Elaboration of an environmental sensibility atlas
• Standardization of information through intercallibration of laboratories
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE …
“contribute to the preservation of the biological diversity and prevent and mitigate marine-coastal pollution, improving the quality of life of the inhabitants of the region”

CONCLUSIONS ...
• COASTAL AREAS INFLUENCED BY OCEAN AND SEDIMENTS DYNAMICS
• FEW “LONG” TIME SERIES AVAILABLE
• GREAT SPATIAL-TEMPORAL VARIATIONS
• COLLECTED DATA COMPATIBLE WITH KNOWLEDGE
• OPERATIONAL ISSUES
