Abstract:
Abstract— Climate change impacts polar water mass formation and its subsequent sinking and spreading along the ocean floor, thus affecting oceanic storage of greenhouse gases. Currently, there is no low cost way to monitor the polar and other abyssal water masses. Here we propose to use submarine cables by integrating sensors and node functionality into repeaters to form a real-time global climate change monitoring network that also includes tsunami warning capability and provides for multipurpose connections.
