Draper Laboratory Instrumentation for Buoy System Dynamics,

Abstract

Instruments developed at The Charles Stark Draper Laboratory for measurement of buoy system dynamics and their use in ocean testing are described. These instruments measure tension, acceleration, angular velocity, depth, and orientation. They are self-contained and packaged for use in buoys and on mooring lines deep within the ocean. Data interpretation and future developments are also discussed.
