Suitcase Oceanography

Abstract

Recent developments in microelectronics and packaging techniques offer expanding opportunities to the oceanographic community for developing new highly flexible, portable data acquisition and processing systems. These 'suitcase' systems will permit certain types of oceanographic survey work to be performed from non-oceanographic vessels or ships of opportunity. Since ship time represents a substantial portion of the overall cost of oceanographic data acquisition significant savings are offered by the suitcase oceanography concept.
