This interim report describes the development and testing of the R-TEAM system from the initial
concept studies to the actual deployment and recovery of a working prototype at Site D, 39°N, 70°W
(June 2 to August 3. 1987). The R-TEAM mooring is specifically designed to collect oceanic environmental
data in the Arctic region and to transmit these data to shore on a daily basis via ARGOS satellite
telemetry. To this end an ascent module comes to the surface once a day and transmits directly to
ARGOS (ice free surface) or indirectly through a relatively adjacent MF receiver station (ice covered
surface) which in turn relays the data to the ARGOS satellite. When not transmitting, the module remains
in its rest position most of the time, well away from the surface. thus diminishing the risks of
damage at the ice interface. The design life of the R-TEAM system is one year in situ. The mooring must
be capable of deployment in depths of up to 4500 meters and must be able to withstand a maximum
current speed of 2 knots at the surface.
