FRAMEWORK
1. The installation process of the Pozzallo HF antenna, within the Pozzallo Port was a long and complex task from several point of view
2. More than 15 authorizations have been obtained by ARPA before to start the installation
3. The role of the UNIPA Focal Point was crucial to take care and to follow all these processes (from technical and administrative point of view)
4. All the bureaucratic processes are clear now
5. The experiences and the lessons learnt during last 28 months will be useful in the future to speed up NEW future installations (if any)

Some radial map reached the Malta island after few acquisition days
The Pozzallo HF system: first data
The system seems acquiring data correctly (but not calibrated yet)
1) Antenna Pattern Measurements (APM) (ARPA + CUTGANA + Qualitas)
2) Integration and combination of the Pozzallo HF data within the Malta combine station, to produce surface velocities maps on the whole area at hourly scale
3) Drifters release (validation)
4) ADCP survey (validation)
The Pozzallo HF system: actions to be performed
Including the third HF system will:
- Increase the monitored surface
- Improve the data quality and the reliability of the measurements
Expected improvement
The CALYPSO network will be maintained up for at least 5 years During this period CALYPSO data will be useful in:- improving the reliability of sea currents forecasting- oil spill chain response (forecasting of the oil fate and mitigation)
Other applications- search and rescue- sea fishing- boat routing

CALYPSO 2: to extend the CALYPSO coverage 3 hypotheses for the next HF system position
Scoglitti Gela Licata
Future expansion of the System
Advantages: redundancy increased coverage better quality of the maps
Future expansion of the System
DREAMING A FULL HF COVERAGE FOR THE SICILIAN COAST

Conclusions
• The system management for the next 5 year will require a certain effort from economical point of view (and not only)
• An amount of 8-10 thousand € per year is required to maintain the Pozzallo system (frequency authorization, insurance, system maintenance, energy supply, internet connection)
• Periodic field survey would be needed to test the accuracy of the system
• An agreement on the use of the data by external customer is needed
• New funds have to be found to finance and expand the network
