Everything about Neptune totally explained
NEPTUNE is an acronym for North-East Pacific Time-series Undersea Networked Experiments. The NEPTUNE Canada project will lay approximately 800 km of power and
fibre optic cables over the northern part of the
Juan de Fuca tectonic plate off the west coast of
Vancouver Island in
British Columbia. The
University of Victoria hosts both the NEPTUNE Canada and
VENUS projects along with the Data Management and Archiving System that's responsible for all data processing, from data acquisition to archiving to providing near real-time web access.
A similar system will be installed off the west coast of the states of
Washington and
Oregon. The
University of Washington will lead the Regional Scale Nodes component of the
NSF's Ocean Observatories Initiative.
The NEPTUNE project will be the first deep water undersea observatory in the world and has been selected as one of the five most significant science projects in the Year in 2008 from the Economist
(External Link
