DEEP-MOORED INSTRUMENT STATION DESIGN AND PERFORMANCE 1967 - 1970,

Abstract

Deep-moored instrument stations that record oceanographic and meteorological data for long periods of time having been in use at Scripps Institution of Oceanograph for a number of years. Recently the ability of these stations to survive very heavy sea conditions has been greatly improved and the data-recording capability enhanced and increased. Test moorings and operational deployments have shown that many stations will survive for periods of one year or more in the central North Pacific Ocean including the winter storm season. The designs are described, as well as results from extensive sea tests and actual operational deployment in the central North Pacific Ocean. (Author)
