Description:
The Mid-Ocean Dynamics Experiment (MODE) under the
Office of the International Decade of Oceanography, National
Science Foundation, included plans for the deployment of
long-range SOFAR floats in a two degree square area
approximately 400 miles Southwest of Bermuda. The floats are
located by AFETR, MILS system hydrophones at Bermuda, Eleuthera
and Puerto Rico. An additional station at Grand Turk Island,
British West Indies, was requested to provide an expanded and
more reliable location. In addition a spare installation was
to be provided which could be installed within relatively short
notice at Eleuthera or Puerto Rico if required.
The design, logistical considerations and installation
of the Grand Turk Island station are documented in this
report.
