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.

Development of a "genome-proxy" microarray for profiling marine microbial communities, and its application to a time series in Monterey Bay, California
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 2008-09)This thesis describes the development and application of a new tool for profiling marine microbial communities. Chapter 1 places the tool in the context of the range of methods used currently. Chapter 2 describes the ... -
Initial settlement of marine invertebrate larvae : the role of passive sinking in a near-bottom turbulent flow environment
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1984-02)The hypothesis that planktonic larvae of benthic invertebrates sink through the water like passive particles in turbulent flows near the seabed was tested in the field using several groups of geometrically different ... -
Laboratory measurements of the sound generated by breaking waves
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1991-12)Breaking waves dissipate energy, transfer momentum from the wind to surface currents and breaking enhances the transfer of gas and mass across the air-sea interface. Breaking waves are believed to be the dominant source ...
