An infrastructure for global, regional, and coastal sub-sea observatories is being planned to
support individual and networked sensors. The main emphasis has been to provide basic …

Present autonomous moored profilers often undersample the ocean and alias “high”
frequency processes such as tides and internal waves because they are slow and have …

Much of the cost and effort of new ocean observatories will be in the infrastructure that
directly supports sensors, such as moorings and mobile platforms, which in turn connect to …

The ocean sciences are beginning a new phase in which scientists will enter the ocean
environment and adaptively observe the Earth-Ocean system through remote control of …

Two general-purpose mooring designs have been developed to support autonomous
underwater vehicle (AUV) operations in autonomous ocean sampling networks (AOSNs) …

This paper discusses the current state of the art systems of real time telemetry on
oceanographic moorings and describes the design requirements for making acoustic …

Ocean science encompasses young and rapidly evolving disciplines. The approaches
needed to observe and experiment with the physical, chemical, biological and geological …

In this paper we describe some of the practical issues involved in designing, building and
deploying a sensor network for oceanographic monitoring. The paper explains some of the …

We describe our implementation of a novel deep ocean sensor network, the MBARI Free
Ocean CO 2 Enrichment (FOCE). FOCE is a system designed for installation in the deep …

There has been considerable discussion and planning in the oceanographic community
toward the installation of long-term seafloor sites for scientific observation in the deep ocean …
