CALYPSO Project FINAL MEETING PROJECT SEMINAR University of Malta, Valletta Campus, Old University Building, St Paul Street, Valletta 29 August 2013 Beyond CALYPSO – Prospects for the future GIUSEPPE CIRAOLO FULVIO CAPODICI and ALBA ABBATE Calypso Project Sicilian Focal Point - UNIPA INFO: www. capemalta. net/calypso

FRAMEWORK 1. The installation process of the Pozzallo HF antenna, within the Pozzallo Port was a long and complex task from several point of view 2. More than 15 authorizations have been obtained by ARPA before to start the installation 3. The role of the UNIPA Focal Point was crucial to take care and to follow all these processes (from technical and administrative point of view) 4. All the bureaucratic processes are clear now 5. The experiences and the lessons learnt during last 28 months will be useful in the future to speed up NEW future installations (if any)

The Pozzallo HF installation The Pozzallo HF antenna completed the CALYPSO HF network The installation has been completed on 13 th of August

The Pozzallo HF installation

The Pozzallo HF system: first data first radial map (August 13, 2013) Some radial map reached the Malta island after few acquisition days The system seems acquiring data correctly (but not calibrated yet)

The Pozzallo HF system: actions to be performed 1) Antenna Pattern Measurements (APM) (ARPA + CUTGANA + Qualitas) 2) Integration and combination of the Pozzallo HF data within the Malta combine station, to produce surface velocities maps on the whole area at hourly scale 3) Drifters release (validation) 4) ADCP survey (validation)

Expected improvement Including the third HF system will: - Increase the monitored surface - Improve the data quality and the reliability of the measurements

Expected use of the system The CALYPSO network will be maintained up for at least 5 years During this period CALYPSO data will be useful in: - improving the reliability of sea currents forecasting - oil spill chain response (forecasting of the oil fate and mitigation) INITIAL OIL SPILL POSITOIN FUTURE OIL SPILL POSITOIN INITIAL SEA STATE CALYPSO REMOTE SENSING FUTURE SEA STATE FUTURE WEATHER OIL SPILL MITIGATION Other applications - search and rescue - sea fishing - boat routing

Conclusions • • • The system management for the next 5 year will require a certain effort from economical point of view (and not only) An amount of 8 -10 thousand € per year is required to maintain the Pozzallo system (frequency authorization, insurance, system maintenance, energy supply, internet connection) Periodic field survey would be needed to test the accuracy of the system An agreement on the use of theadata by external customer is Meeting Ragusa 21 Novembre 2011 needed New funds have to be found to finance and expand the network INFO: www. capemalta. net/calypso
