NEPTUNE: an under-sea plate scale observatory

The NEPTUNE project will establish a linked array of undersea observatories on the Juan de Fuca tectonic plate. This observatory will provide a new kind of research platform for real-time, long-term, plate-scale studies in the ocean and Earth sciences.

Parrallel power for undersea application: The basic considerations

Power systems for undersea observatories are required to deliver high power with good reliability. For the proposed NEPTUNE observatory, the authors have developed a power scheme that combines ideas from terrestial power systems and switching power supplies with experience from undersea cable systems.
