Summary
DescriptionA set of buoys are maintained by the Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ): two in the sluice dock (Ostend) and one at the C-power windfarm, on the Thornton Bank. All buoys are continuously measuring an array of environmental parameters

In conjunction with the research vessel RV Simon Stevin, the Thornthon measuring buoy is part of the oceanographic component of ICOS Belgium (The Integrated Carbon Observation System). The Thornton buoy carries sensors for both LifeWatch and ICOS. Management is organized as part of ICOS. ICOS is a European monitoring network consisting of a large number of observation systems for measuring greenhouse gasses. The observation systems are spread across Europe and consist of three major components: 1. An atmospheric component with high measurement towers 2. An ecosystem component with measurement towers that observe fluxes 3. An oceanographic component with observation systems on ships and buoys
