EMSO Ligure West - EMSO-LO<\/strong><\/h3>\u00a0<\/p>
The EMSO-LO site, located at a depth of 2,500 m off the coast of Toulon, is part of the European infrastructure. EMSO-ERIC<\/a> andEMSO France Research Infrastructure <\/a>(European Multidisciplinary Subsea Observatory-European Research Infrastructure Consortium).<\/p>L'EMSO ERIC<\/a> aims to collect long-term time series over 12 years across Europe in order to monitor the consequences of global change on heat content, ocean acidification, deoxygenation and deep-sea marine ecosystems. EMSO also aims to provide tool services for ecosystem management and mitigation.<\/p>L'EMSO France<\/a> is a built or multidisciplinary research observatory, in real or delayed time, based on mooring lines and deep-sea observatories. EMSO-LO is supported by the MOOSE national observation service<\/a> (IR ILICO).<\/p>EMSO-LO is dedicated to monitoring the water column, including hydrological properties, the dynamics of northern currents and their impact on the water column, and the effect of deep-sea convection in the western Mediterranean Sea on the properties and functioning of deep-sea ecosystems.<\/p>
Linking surface production, particle fluxes and state variables to deduce ecosystem functioning using indicators such as bioluminescence and O2, and quantify the variability and dynamics of biological pumps.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div><\/section><\/div>
