This is a report on the use of one vendor's optical disk system for the
archiving of data in the field. Two Optimem 1000 units are part of an
acquisition system used by the Arctic acoustics groups at Woods Hole
Oceanographic Institution and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology during
an ice-camp based experiment conducted during March of 1987 north of Alaska,
(PRUDEX). Data recording and disk directory formats developed specifically
for continuous recording of multichannel digital data are described as well as
the acquisition system itself. A brief overview of available optical disk
drive systems and their applicability to use in the field for storage of large
volumes of data is given.
