Remote Drifting Thermistor Array. A Technique for Observing Internal Waves in the Upper Ocean.
Abstract
A freely drifting vertical line array of thermistors was designed, constructed, and deployed to observe internal waves in the upper ocean. Thermal and pressure data were telemetered to a remote receiver. The array was effectively decoupled from the vertical motions of the sea surface and did provide useful internal wave measurements. The array is relatively inexpensive to construct and can be a useful device, especially when used in conjunction with observations from an accompanying ship, for internal wave survey operations.
