The Arctic data buoy. A system for environmental monitoring in the Arctic
An automated data buoy system for environmental monitoring in the Arctic was developed. The buoy is designed to operate for a minimum of 1 year providing position and environmental data through polar-orbiting satellite telecommunications. It can be deployed by a two or three man crew using a small a...
