Challenges, Benefits, and Opportunities in Installing and Operating Cabled Ocean Observatories: Perspectives From NEPTUNE Canada

TL;DR: NEPTUNE Canada as mentioned in this paper is the world's first cabled ocean observatory, located in the northeast Pacific Ocean, off Canada's coast, which provides abundant power and high bandwidth communications into coastal to abyssal environments allows discrimination between short and long-term events, interactive experiments, real-time data and imagery, and multidisciplinary teams interrogating a vast database over 25 years.

Ocean circulation promotes methane release from gas hydrate outcrops at the NEPTUNE Canada Barkley Canyon node

TL;DR: In this article, a mobile Internet operated vehicle was used as an instrument platform to monitor and study up to 2000m2 of sediment surface in real-time, and the results showed that periods of enhanced bottom currents associated with diurnal shelf waves, internal semidiurnal tides, and also wind-generated near-inertial motions can modulate methane seepage.

Understanding Earth– Ocean Processes using Real-time Data from NEPTUNE, Canada’s Widely Distributed Sensor Networks, Northeast Pacific

TL;DR: After several years of planning, NEPTUNE Canada [wwwneptunecanadaca], as part of the Ocean Networks Canada Observatory, largely completed the installation of the world's first regional cabled observatory network in 2009 as discussed by the authors.
