Description
Summary:The Air Deployed Oceanographic Mooring Study (ADOM), sponsored by the Office of Naval Research, through a team of contractors, explores technology for deploying oceanographic sensors from an aircraft in two regions of the world's oceans: In the open ocean; and In the Polar oceans, involving substantial ice cover. This report covers the initial phase of an ADOM Study, performed by the Marine Systems Engineering Laboratory of the University of New Hampshire, which is responsible for the concept definition and feasibility evaluation of systems for penetrating the ice cover and for deploying sensors and a data communication link. In the first year, a Concept Definition Phase (March - July 1978) involving the development of ice penetration system concepts is to be followed by a Concept Validation Phase (July - February 1979) which involves test of key system components and preparation for a second year in which full scale Arctic tests are planned.
