This document contains two workshop reports and several brief technical
reports, all on aspects of ocean data telemetry and platform positioning. The
principal topic is a Summary of an Ocean Telemetry Workshop held at the
AGU/ ASLO Ocean Sciences Meeting in New Orleans, Louisiana, on 15 January
1986. A brief version of this summary appeared in EOS, Transactions of the
American Geophysical Union, 4 March 1986. Both the full summary presented
here and the brief form in EOS were coauthored by D. Brooks of Texas A&M
University.
Included here is a list of the attendees at that workshop (Appendix A),
and a description of the goals and membership of the AGU Ocean Sciences
Section Technical Committee on Ocean Data Telemetry and Platform Positioning,
which was formed at that meeting (Appendix B).
An earlier, informal, local workshop on telemetry was held at Woods Hole
in March 1985; a report on that meeting is in Appendix C.
Technical summaries are given on Meteor-Burst Telemetry (Appendix D), the
GEOSTAR positioning system (Appendix E), tradeoffs for various telemetry
systems (Appendix F), a proposed communications network [authored by M.
Comberiate from NASA Goddard) (Appendix G), and the possibilities of a new
kind of HF telemetry system (Appendix H).
A small discussion at Woods Hole prior to the January Telemetry Workshop
is reported in Appendix I.

Predicting sonic pulse shapes of underwater spark discharges
Caulfield, David D. (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 ... -
Interaction of high frequency internal waves and the boundary layer on the continental shelf
Sanford, Lawrence P. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1984-08)Intermittent, shoreward propagating packets of high frequency first mode internal waves are common on the continental shelf when the water column is stratified and may induce large fluctuations in near bottom velocity. ... -
