The design and testing of buoys capable of measuring temperature and salinity in ice covered oceans is described. The buoys are implanted in the sea ice and collect water temperature and conductivity data from pairs of sensors tethered to a cable suspended below the ice. The sensor data is collected and position is determined using the ARGOS satellite system. Two tests of the buoy system are described...
A micropower, automatic, data collection buoy system has been developed for obtaining synoptic enviornmental data in the open ocean and in ice covered seas for periods exceeding one year. Synoptic data samples are stored in a 24 hour memory under microprocessor control and relayed by burst transmissions to one of two NOAA polar orbiting satellites utilizing the ARGOS random access data collection...
