GEophysical and Oceanographic STation for Abyssal Research.
The Observatory (also named "Bottom Station") is a four-leg marine aluminium frame (overall dimension 3.50m x 3.50m x 3.30m) supporting all equipment and vessels constituting the scientific and operative payload.
In the design of the station particular care is paid to ensure correct installation and positioning of the various sensors, taking into account their specific requirements and sensitivity to interferences, induced noise, correct alignment, etc.
