Description:
The Asian Seas International Experiment (ASIAEX) was a very successful scientific collaboration between the United States of
America (USA), the People’s Republic of China (PRC), Taiwan (ROC), the Republic of Korea (ROK), Japan, Russia, and
Singapore. Preliminary field experiments associated with ASIAEX began in spring of 2000. The main experiments were performed
in April-August, 2001. The scientific plan called for two major acoustics experiments, the first a bottom interaction experiment in
the East China Sea (ECS) and the second a volume interaction experiment in the South China Sea (SCS). In addition to the
acoustics efforts, there were also extremely strong physical oceanography and geology and geophysics components to the
experiments. This report will concentrate on describing the moored component of the South China Sea portion of ASIAEX 2001
performed from the Taiwan Fisheries research vessel FR1 (Fisheries Researcher 1). Information on the environmental moorings
deployed from the Taiwanese oceanographic research vessel OR1 (Oceanographic Researcher 1) will also be listed here for
completeness, so that the reader can pursue later analyses of the data. This report does not pursue any data analyses per se.
