    A compilation of moored current meter data from the North Pacific : (the "Zonal" Experiment, 1983-1985) volume XLI (2022)
    Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
    Details
    Publication Date: 2022-05-27
    Description: Summaries of long-term current, temperature and pressure measurements from moored instruments in the western Pacific Ocean (ranging from 152°W to 165°E longitude and 31° to 41°N latitude) are presented. There were two consecutive settings of instruments, referred to as zonal I and zonal II, each spanning a one-year interval. There were, for the first time, 2 two-year mooring deployments, which were successful. Tables, plots and statistics include filtered and unfiltered data, as well as merged and single setting data. The objective of the experiment was to define the basic properties of the low frequency variability in the mid-latitude North Pacific.

    The horizontal mooring : a two-dimensional array, description of the array, components, instrumentation, deployment and recovery operations (2005)
    Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
    Details
    Publication Date: 2022-05-26
    Description: A moored two-dimensional array with instrumentation distributed both horizontally and vertically was deployed for 27 days in August 1998 at an 85 meter deep site in Massachusetts Bay near Stellwagon basin. The horizontal mooring consisted of a 160- meter long horizontal element positioned at a depth of 20 meters between two subsurface moorings. Suspended below the horizontal member were five 25-meter long vertical strings. The vertical strings had a horizontal separation of 30 meters and each had instruments at depths of 20, 25, 30, 35, 40 and 45 meters. Instrumentation deployed on the two-dimensional array included acoustic current meters, temperature sensors, conductivity measuring instruments, pressure sensors and motion monitoring packages. This report includes a detailed description of the two-dimensional array, the anchoring system and the instrumentation that were deployed. Also included is a description of the deployment and recovery techniques that were employed as well as an assessment of the performance of the array.

    Hose elements for buoy moorings : design, fabrication and mechanical properties (2006)
    Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
    Details
    Publication Date: 2022-05-26
    Description: This report describes the design of tire cord reinforced rubber hoses, which have found an application as mooring hoses for oceanographic and offshore aquaculture buoy systems. These hoses stand out due to their ruggedness and ability to significantly stretch under load. The ruggedness is achieved through a steam curing = vulcanization process of the completed hose, generating a similar toughness of the hoses like automobile tires. Elastic stretch ranges can be designed from 30 to 130 percent through variation of the arrangement of the load carrying tire cord layers in the hose body. The hoses can also be furnished with electrical conductors and possibly optical light-guides as part of the hose wall. This technical report describes the design, fabrication, and mechanical properties of the mooring hoses to allow engineers to custom develop hoses with tailored mechanical properties.

    Deep sea moorings fishbite handbook (2007)
    Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
    Details
    Publication Date: 2022-05-26
    Description: The purpose of this handbook is to bring awareness and a degree of expertise to the very real problem of fish attacks on mooring lines and cables deployed in the open seas. Over the years the authors have carefully examined a large sample of damaged, sometimes entirely severed ropes retrieved from the sea. Often direct evidence and/or biological observations showed that the ropes were the victims of fish attacks. In many cases however the cause of rope failure remained difficult to ascertain. Techniques and rationales therefore had to be devised to elucidate the more thorny cases. Understanding a problem, the saying goes, is half of the solution. The other half, as far as this handbook is concerned, is of course to make known the ways which, at the moment, could help prevent fishbite attacks or at least abate its effects. Thus the handbook will follow a natural progression. A short introduction retraces the early suspicions which soon translated into confirmed fish attacks. The next two chapters cover the recognition and the extent of the fishbite problem in great depth. Chapter 2 presents in meticulous details the techniques which can be used to determine how a rope was damaged while in service, either by fishbite or any other plausible cause. The analysis of a data base which spans over twenty years and encompasses close to a thousand moorings is presented in Chapter 3: Dimensions of the fishbite problem. This chapter provides valuable information for use in estimating fishbite hazard. Who are the culprits and why they do it is reviewed in Chapter 4: Biting organisms and predisposing factors. This chapter identifies the marine organisms which have significant biting capabilities and outlines some of the environmental factors and processes which incite and result in fishbite damage. The last chapter: Prevention and control of fishbite damage, reviews the preventive methods used to reduce the incidence or the severity of fish attacks and the curative methods - including up to date techniques for jacketing metallic and non-metallic ropes and cables - which hopefully will protect mooring lines from the mechanical damage inflicted by fish teeth.

    The surface acoustic shear sensor (SASS) as used during the Shelf Mixed Layer Experiment (SMILE) November 1988-March 1989 (2014)
    Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
    Details
    Publication Date: 2022-05-26
    Description: The SMILE (Shelf Mixed Layer Experiment) field program took place during the winter of 1988-1989. The SMILE program itself was large and involved many investigators and instruments. This report documents the use of the Surface Acoustic Shear Sensor (SASS) as part of the suite of measurements taken during SMILE. The SMILE mooring array was deployed from early November 1988 until June, 1989. SASS, being a newly developed instrument, was deployed for two shorter periods; a test deployment between November 26 and December 8, 1988, and a longer second deployment, February 23 through March 14, 1989. SASS is based on BASS (Benthic Acoustic Stress Sensor) components (Williams et al., 1987), mounted on a structure that allowed continuous sampling of velocity, temperature and conductivity in the top five meters of the ocean. BASS was modified for this surface application to acquire data from a gyro, and conductivity sensors. The attitude data from the gyro allows the velocities of the current meter to be referenced to an inertial frame of reference. The other data obtained from SASS will be used to calculate shear current gradients, and other descriptors of turbulence and mixing.

    FASINEX Frontal Air-Sea Interaction Experiment (January-June 1986) : cruise summaries for FASINEX phase two; R/V OCEANUS cruise 175, R/V ENDEAVOR cruise 141 (2016)
    Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
    Details
    Publication Date: 2022-05-26
    Description: The Frontal Air-Sea Interaction Experiment (FASINEX) was a study of the response of the upper ocean to atmospheric forcing in the vicinity of an oceanic front in the subtropical convergence zone southwest of Bermuda, the response of the lower atmosphere in that vicinity to the oceanic front, and the associated two-way interaction between ocean and atmosphere. FASINEX began in the winter (January 1986) , concluded in the early summer (June 1986) and included an intensive period in February and March. The experiment took place in the vicinity of 27°N, 70°W where sea-surface-temperature fronts are climatologically common. Measurements were made from buoys, ships, aircraft and spacecraft. This report summarizes the shipboard work done on R/V OCEANUS and R/V ENDEAVOR during Phase Two, the dual ship/multi-aircraft measurement period. The two ships worked individually, jointly and as ground truth for the aircraft during the month. Each ship carried specialized instrumentation for measuring oceanographic and meteorological parameters. Information describing the sampling strategy, station positions and times are included. This report contains summaries of the data collected and some preliminary results.

The experiment took place in the vicinity of 27°N, 70°W where sea-surface-temperature fronts are climatologically common. Measurements were made from buoys, ships, aircraft and spacecraft. This report summarizes the mooring deployment and recovery cruises. FASINEX Phase One, the deployment cruise, located a frontal feature, mapped it and set an array of surface and Profiling Current Meters moorings across the front. Phase Three, the recovery cruise returned to the FASINEX area to retrieve the instrumentation that had been on station for six months. Additional measurements were made in the frontal region during these cruises. The activities carried out and the underway data collected on these two cruises, details of the moored array and a preliminary statement of the data return from the array, and the data telemetered from the moored array via ARGOS are summarized in this report.
