A cabled observatory is a seabed oceanographic research platform connected to land by cables that provide power and communication. Observatories are outfitted with a multitude of scientific instruments that can collect many kinds of data from the seafloor and water column.[1][2] By removing the limitations of undersea power sources and sonar or RF communications, cabled observatories allow persistent study of underwater phenomena.[2] Data from these instruments is relayed to a land station and data networks, such as Ocean Networks Canada, in real time.[1][2]
