A Study of the Use of a Towed Body for Ocean Fine and Microstructure Measurement.

Abstract

A study was performed to determine if existing operational and developmental towed oceanographic measurement systems can meet, or be modified to meet, projected Navy needs for fine and microscale measurements of temperature, salinity and water velocity in the upper ocean. While no existing system presently meets the requirements for measurement of all three parameters, at least one system meets the requirements for measurement of temperature and salinity. Investigations required to determine the feasibility of a system capable of meeting the additional requirements for velocity measurement are identified. (Author)
