Comprehensive Marine Particle Analysis System

Abstract

The long term goal of this project is the development and utilization of a comprehensive (broadly capable) marine particle analysis system. The system is designed with wide dynamic range, thus, it will ultimately be used for high speed, high resolution characterization of water column particle fields in high, medium and low latitudes. As part of a broader goal this project continues advancement of the AOSN concept through joint use of both the towed platform and autonomous underwater vehicles.
