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.

Predicting sonic pulse shapes of underwater spark discharges
(Woods Hole Oceanographic InstitutionWoods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1962-03)Measurements of the acoustic pressure of spark discharges were made at a shallow depth (10 feet) for various voltages, stored energies, inductances and capacitances of the system, and electrode areas. The voltages ranged ... -
Hydrographic data from the 10°N transpacific cruise R/V Moana Wave cruise #89-3, -4, -6
(Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1991-09)A trans-Pacific hydrographic section along approximate latitude 10°N was occupied in February-May, 1989, from the R/V Moana Wave. A description of the instrumentation employed and data reduction techniques is given. ... -
Radio LAN acquisition module (RLAM) : recent developments for high resolution data collection systems as implemented for the ONR sea ice mechanics experiment, spring 1994
(Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1995-05)During a recent experiment (April 1994), for the ONR Sea Ice Mechanics Initiative (SIMI), a portable data acquisition system was assembled that included 2 new developments. The first consists of a board, designed for the ...
