Weather and sea state observing system (GALATA)

NOMOS is a system designed to allow the real-time assessment of weather and marine conditions in the western part of Black Sea and to support sustainable development of the Bulgarian Black Sea coast and EEZ. It consists of several subsystems. The proposed NOMOS’s installations for TNA are GALATA and POMOS. GALATA is built on a fixed, unmanned, earth gas production platform, located in western part of the Black Sea on the Bulgarian shelf 26 km east from the city of Varna and aim to provide real time oceanographic data. The system collects data with minimum components to maximize the use of existing facilities: weather station, water temperature, conductivity, DO, chlorophyll and ADCP.
