Abstract

Over centuries, the ocean has been studied from outside, either on the coast or on board. The latest development in marine technology has enabled longterm observations inside the ocean. The paper briefly discusses how the systems of seafloor observatories and mobile observing platforms offer unprecedented opportunities for all fields of ocean researchers. To this new trend, China has to pay its closest attention to the course of developing ocean science in the country.
