Mooring Operations Support for the University of Miami Project: Impact of Typhoons on the Pacific (ITOP)

Abstract

Dr. Hans Graber at the University of Miami requested the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution's (WHOI) expertise in the design, deployment, and recovery of two, deep-water EASI-ASIS surface moorings. The moorings were deployed for a period of three months in the Western Pacific as part of the Impact of Typhoons on the Pacific (ITOP) Experiment. The overall objective of our work was to conduct a mooring analysis of the Miami design to ensure the moorings could survive a typhoon. Secondly, WHOI personnel took the lead during the deployment and recovery operations of the deep water instrumented surface moorings.
