The
NESTOR Institute for Deep Sea Research (building at center of picture) is
located in Pylos.
Pylos
is the location of the NESTOR Institute for Deep Sea Research. This laboratory is known for the study of
high-energy neutrinos7. To
detect neutrinos, photosensors are placed in the very deep water (4 km deep) of
the Ionian Sea southwest of Pylos.
Thus, the laboratory has experience deploying ocean moorings in deep
water. This experience will be
invaluable to the Ionian Sea Rainfall Experiment.
