Integrated Coastal Observation System (ICOS)
Abstract
The long-term goal is to enhance present capabilities in coastal marine observations by incorporating in situ biological, chemical, and physical sensors in an undulating vehicle with a mobile, sea-going laboratory van capable of further analysis of critical seawater properties in support of optical and acoustic studies carried out by the Office of Naval Research. This mobile lab/undulating vehicle system will be capable of rapid, high resolution, simultaneous measurement of key fields such as temperature, salinity, depth, dissolved oxygen, nutrients, dissolved organic matter, chlorophyll, particle size distributions, and particle (plankton) composition.
