The surface profile of the area near the NEMO site (red spot) at 36°21′N, 16°10′E. The black curve represents the coast line. The sea plateau depth used in the simulation is 3424 m. The effective volume starts at an height of 100 m from the seabed, to account for the spacing of the first photomultipliers as foresee by the current designs. The km3 detector is oriented along the E-W/S-N directions.
