Train wheels are in fact one of the best solutions adopted for anchoring delicate oceanographic instruments, such as current meters and multi-parameter probes, in fixed points, which allow ocean variability to be monitored over the years for climate change studies.

The agreement signed by the director of DiST, Giorgio Budillo, and the president of Eav, Umberto De Gregorio, is the starting point of a virtuous cooperation between two bodies that insist on the territorial reality of Naples and the Campania Region.
