*May 20 - June 20, 2022: Azores'22 sea trial

(foreseen) June 20-24: recover and assess data from three moorings in the Faial-Pico area. Three EAR recorders, 2 SR1 and one M35 Geospectrum vector sensor, for ocean sound calibration and marine mammals tracking in the southwest and norteast approaches to the Faial-Pico shallow channel.

*May-June, 2022- Azores'22 field calibration experiment

*Nov 24, 2021 Engineering test, Vilamoura

The testing involved a bottom tripod with the Geospectrum M35 vector hydrophone and the Marsensing developed recorder. A Lubell 916C sound source was deployed from the PUMA catamaran, either at fixed locations or towed along isobathymetric or cross-bathymetric routes. A CTD was used to gather sound velocity in the water column. Water depths were varying from 15 to 30 m.

* March 2020

Arrived low-frequency and particle motion hydrophones from Geospectrum

* October 2019

Ordered a set of low-frequency and particle motion sensors from Geospectrum and due to arrive in the first quarter 2020
