This report reviews the analysis and the evaluation of surface buoy systems
performed in the Engineering Department of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
in 1968. The buoy systems considered are single point moored, taut
and compound consisting of wire and synthetic ropes, The first part of the
report describes the forcing functions and the system response as measured
in situ during and after launching, The second part presents the results
of the mooring line components testing and evaluation programs performed at
sea or in laboratories. The third part briefly outlines the present development
in telemetry transmission of scientific and engineering information, It
is believed that this systematic engineering effort is an important factor
in the continuous improvement of the reliability and performance of the
deep sea buoy systems used in scientific measurements programs.

Phytoplankton growth and diel variations in beam attenuation through individual cell analysis
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1995-09)A number of investigators have observed diel variations in the bulk water inherent optical property beam attenuation, with a minimum near dawn and a maximum near dusk, and have assumed them to be caused by the phytoplankton. ... -
Structure of the western Somali Basin
(Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1967-07)The western Somali Basin in the northwestern Indian Ocean is covered by thick deposits of terrigenous sediments. Seismic reflection profiles show, however, the northern and southern parts to be very different. The northern ... -
