Deep sea mud volcano in-situ monitoring system and method

Abstract

The invention discloses a deep sea mud volcano in-situ monitoring system and method. The system comprises a guiding mechanism which is used for forming a monitoring path, and a monitoring mechanism which is used for carrying out the periodic monitoring of a mud volcano along the monitoring path. The monitoring mechanism comprises a rack, a data acquisition cabin used for processing monitoring data, a monitoring assembly used for monitoring the mud volcano and a navigation assembly used for guiding the monitoring mechanism to move along a monitoring path, and the data acquisition cabin, the monitoring assembly and the navigation assembly are all arranged on the rack; the monitoring assembly and the navigation assembly are both connected with the data acquisition cabin, and the guide mechanism is connected with the navigation assembly. According to the method, the monitoring path is established on the deep sea mud volcano, so that the monitoring mechanism periodically monitors the mud volcano along the monitoring path, and the topographic change and the activity rule of the mud volcano are obtained.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to marine environment monitoring and detection equipment, in particular to an in-situ monitoring system and method for deep-sea mud volcanoes. Background technique [0002] Deep-sea mud volcanoes have always been a focus of attention in the development of deep-sea resources, and mud volcanoes have been in an unstable state for a long time, and their activities also have an uncertain periodicity. Global warming has a major impact. The current monitoring method for the periodic activities of deep-sea mud volcanoes, especially the terrain changes, is to use detection ships to enter the ocean for long-term monitoring. However, because the cost of using ships to conduct multiple multi-beam bathymetry The monitoring of deep-sea mud volcanoes is limited, and there is a lack of long-term time series testing of mud volcano topography, and the dynamic terrain changes and eruption activities of mud volcanoes cannot be obtained.
