Ocean Data Station Long-Range Telemetry Tests.
Abstract
An experiment was conducted to test long-range telemetry communications between a buoy located off La Jolla, California and a Mobile Data Center being operated from several locations within the continental United States. Long-distance communications from the buoy were also monitored by U.S. Navy receiving stations in Alaska and Hawaii. Data obtained during these communications were evaluated to determine overall communication success. Radio communication predictions are compared with test results, and factors affecting communication success (such as time, space, and in-band-frequency diversity; transmitter frequency; and link quality) are evaluated. Factors having strong potential for improving buoy-to-shore communications are identified and evaluated. (Author)
