In the history of humankind, the sea has always played a key role
as a privileged medium for communication, commerce and contact
among population centers. It constitutes an essential ecosystem,
and an invaluable reservoir and source of food for all living
beings. Therefore, its heath is a critical challenge for the
survival of all humanity, particularly as one the most important
environmental components targeted by global warming. Measuring and
monitoring techniques are key tools for managing the marine
environment and for supporting the Blue Economy. With this
perspective, a series of annual international events, entitled
Metrology for the Sea (MetroSea for short) was begun in 2017. Their
increasing success inspired this book, which provides an anthology
of tutorials dealing with a representative selection of topics of
concern to a broad readership. The book covers two broad
application areas, marine hydrography and meteorology, and then
deals with instrumentation for measurement at sea. Typical
metrological issues such as calibration and traceability, are
considered, for both physical and chemical quantities. Key
techniques, such as underwater acoustic investigation, remote
sensing, measurement of waves and monitoring networks, are treated
alongside marine geology and the monitoring of animal species.
Economic and legal aspects of metrology for navigation are also
discussed. Such an unparalleled wide vision of measurement for the
sea will be of interest to a broad audience of scientists,
engineers, economists, and their students.
