The Woods Hole Ocean Bottom Hydrophone instrument records the digitized output of a single hydrophone sensor at rates
between 250 and 1200 samples per second with a dynamic range of 98 dB and can be deployed at depths to 600 meters. The unit's
200 megabyte disk recorder allows operation for periods up to 5 days. Designed for typical marine seismic refraction operations the
unit is reliable and simple to deploy and recover. A detailed description is provided of the instrument design and application including
transfer function, clock accuracy, data format, sample data and power requirements.

Understanding the ocean carbon and sulfur cycles in the context of a variable ocean : a study of anthropogenic carbon storage and dimethylsulfide production in the Atlantic Ocean
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 2010-02)Anthropogenic activity is rapidly changing the global climate through the emission of carbon dioxide. Ocean carbon and sulfur cycles have the potential to impact global climate directly and through feedback loops. Numerical ... -
