Maritime Atmosphere Salt Load Monitoring System.

Abstract

An automatic atmospheric salt load sampling device was designed and deployed on shipboard, traversing the North Atlantic from January to June, 1980. Derived from our Automatic Radon Counter, the device has operated unattended for up to five weeks at sea. Salt load samples were analyzed in the laboratory, while NRL sensors provided data on atmospheric radon concentration, wind speed and direction, ship's speed and heading and GMT. All data sources were polled and recorded at the time of sample acquisition by an NRL designed hard-wired digital data handling system. Electronic circuit diagrams for the control and data handling units are shown and described, for the purposes of construction and maintenance of a system. (Author)
