DURIP Realtime ADCP Data from Lagrangian Floats
Abstract
Approved for Public Release The proposed instrumentation will enhance the quality of research currently funded through ASTraL (Arabian Sea Transition Layer: Exchange across the Air-Sea Interface) via Grant N00014-23-1-2216 to Eric D#Asaro. It will upgrade two existing APL/UW Lagrangian floats with high-speed data telemetry and updated electronics. The two floats are an important component ofthe AsTRAL field program, providing quantitative turbulence data for testing and comparing different parameterizations of the oceanboundary layer. However, the existing floats cannot telemeter ocean velocity data, an important backup in the uncertain environment of the Arabian Sea and are based on obsolete and failing electronics. The DURIP will address both problems by upgrading to more modern CPUs and replacing the existing Iridium modems with new CERTUS-100 Iridium modems with 10 times greater data throughput. Thisnew design will become the standard for APL/UW Lagrangian floats and will be able to provide enhanced research capabilities for future ONR projects by supporting new sensors and missions.
