Air Deployed Oceanographic Mooring (ADOM).

Abstract

Technology is currently being developed for the unmanned deployment of oceanographic sensors from an aircraft in two regions of the world's oceans; the open ocean and the polar seas. A wide variety of scientific investigations can be persued with air deployed oceanographic moorings which can be configured to meet specific scientific requirements. Two corresponding systems are being developed to meet these scientific needs; an open ocean ADOM and an artic ADOM. It is this arctic ADOM program which is the prime responsibility of the Marine Systems Engineering Laboratory (MSEL) of the University of New Hampshire. Both systems share in common the data acquisition and telemetry electronics, sensor system, and decelerator assembly, but differ substantially in all other system aspects. (Author)
