Mooring Operations and Support for NRL RAGS 2003 Experiment

Abstract

The long-term goal of the Mooring Operations and Support for the NRL RAGS experiment was to provide the Naval Research Laboratory with expertise in design and deployment of moored platforms for obtaining acoustic data in the New Jersey Bight area under winter conditions. Our specific objectives for this project were to provide mechanical engineering design, mooring design, and field operations support for the RAGS moorings. The tasks required to meet these objectives included the mechanical design of specialized mooring components, bottom frames, and instrument housings, mooring fabrication, organizing cruise logistics, leading the field operations and working with the researchers to optimize the use of the moored array platforms. The RAGS experiment moorings included three acoustic sources and four receive arrays. The receive arrays included three vertical line arrays and one horizontal line array.
