The C. S. Draper Laboratory Role in the Mooring Dynamics Experiment.

Abstract

This report describes the details of the Mooring Dynamics Experiment (MDE). Specific emphasis is placed on describing the instruments built, calibration techniques employed, and results achieved. In addition, though, considerable emphasis is placed on describing the details of the test moorings, experiment timelines, summary results, and other pertinent data that would be useful in applying the measured data to the verification of mathematical models of mooring response.
