The intent of this project was to test and evaluate a new data collection concept; that of utilizing a "store and forward" message
system in a low earth orbiting satellite, and to determine its suitabilty for oceanographic data telemetry. This new generation of
satellites, dubbed "MicroSats" because of their small size (a 9 in. cube), was developed by the Amateur Radio Satellite
Corporation (AMSAT) to complement the existing HF and VHG terrestral Packet data switching networks.

Evaluation of GEOSAT data and application to variability of the Northeast Pacific Ocean
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1988-09)A portion of the northeast Pacific ocean was chosen within which to evaluate and use altimetric data from the U.S. Navy Geodetic Satellite GEOSAT. The zero-order accuracy of the major GEOSAT geophysical data record (GDR) ... -
Integrating archival tag data and a high-resolution oceanographic model to estimate basking shark (Cetorhinus maximus) movements in the western Atlantic
(Frontiers Media, 2018-02)Basking shark (Cetorhinus maximus) populations are considered “vulnerable” globally and “endangered” in the northeast Atlantic by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Much of our knowledge of this ... -
