INSTALLATION OF THE UPGRADED HYDROGRAPHIC SONARY SYSTEM ON THE RV ROGER REVELLE
Abstract
The Hydrographic Doppler Sonar System (HDSS) has been operating on the RV Roger Revelle since late 1999. The HDSS offers a deeper, higher resolution view of the currents and biological scattering communities in the ocean interior than is available using commercial alternatives. With recent advances in understanding and in technology, the performance of the HDSS can be improved significantly. As an aspect of the Revelle~s 2019-20 mid-life refit, we propose to re-create the HDSS system in the context of the new sonar gondola that is being installed under the ship s hull. Significant improvements to the maximum profiling depth, depthresolution, and rough-weather performance are anticipated. Funding for the hardware aspects of the HDSS refit have been substantially secured through previous DURIP proposals. Here, funds are requested to support final installation of the HDSS system components, including the underhull arrays in the gondola as well as the electronics, processing computers, and displays in the ships electronics compartment and computer lab.
