Communications Challenges in the Arctic: Oil and Gas Operations Perspective
Challenges when operating offshore systems in the Arctic were addressed and analyzed from general data communications systems to distress communications systems. Two methodologies were developed with tools for estimating: a) Rainfall rate in the worst case as well as the degradation due to the highe...
