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.
