Abstract

The Italian Fixed-point ObservatoryNetwork (IFON) integrates well-established oceaninfrastructures managed by various national researchinstitutions (CNR, OGS, and ENEA). Theimplementation of this network was one of the aim ofthe SP5-WP3 of the Flagship Project RITMARE. Inthe first four years of the project, the state of art ofthe 15 operative sites has been completed and 2 morestations are operative from 2015-2016. For each site,the technical characteristics and methods oftransmission have been described, and for some sites,several upgrades were accomplished in order todevelop, integrate, and consolidate the network.Periodically, oceanographic cruises for themaintenance and implementation of the sites werecarried out.After the definition of the minimum requirements, thecriteria for the validation of physical andbiogeochemical data were determined. They include aselection of existing rules, procedures andrecommendations on automatic data Quality Control(QC), and their validation in Near Real Time (NRT).These procedures are intended to unify the validationcriteria of the parameters collected daily from thenetwork and to provide the scientific community witha homogeneous and comparable set of data of theItalian seas. Within the WP3, a relocatable observingsystem for emergencies at sea was implemented. Somenew instruments were bought and some others wereupgraded. In addition, the IFON was enriched with anair-sea observatory in Lampedusa Island with a newbuoy deployed during summer 2015
