ABSTRACT
Vessels of Opportunity (VOO) represent an important resource of moving platforms to support and integrate in-situ marine monitoring programs.
TOPICS
This session welcomes presentations on all aspects involved in VOO observations process such as:
- autonomous operating monitoring devices and new developed techniques;
- vessel recruitment and intercalibration exercises;
- data acquisition, transmission and management;
