DEVELOPMENT OF BUOY-MOUNTED OCEANOGRAPHIC SENSORS (BMOS).
Abstract
An unmanned oceanographic data collection station is considered. This report covers in detail the accomplish ments to date during Phase I. Specifically, the following are dealt with: (a) Evaluation of potential sensor power sources (batteries); (b) evaluation of potentially useful pressure transducers. (c) analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of digital versus frequency transmission modes for sensor-to-buoy data link; (d) development of and potential use of an inductively coupled clamp-on sensor technique; (e) techniques for abatement of biological growth (fouling) on sensitive sensor surfaces; and (f) selection of the parameters for the sensor-to-buoy data link.
