Analysis of NSWC Ocean EM Observatory Test Data

Abstract

NSWC-Carderock is leading a defense/academia group to instrument the South Florida Ocean Measurement Facility with a variety of undersea and on-shore sensors to determine if the electromagnetic fields generated by the ocean can be correlated with measurements of water flow, salinity, temperature, etc. Aeromagnetics Solutions Incorporated was awarded NICOP- N62909-15-1-2054 to help identify the sensors required, plan the sensor deployment, and analyze the initial datafor quality assurance. This report contains ASI's analyses of the 11 data sets provided by NSWC, and summarizes the results and recommendations provided to NSWC regarding sensors, data acquisition systems, and deployment locations.
