Oceanography & Measurement Systems: Representative Projects

Woods Hole Group designed, built, tested and installed a real-time environmental monitoring system for measuring currents and winds on the dynamically positioned drill ship Trans-ocean Discoverer 534, working in the Gulf of Mexico. The system sensors consist of a 75 kHz Broadband Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler and a meteorological system. A PC, running Woods Hole Group - developed real-time data acquisition and display software in the Windows 95 environment, displays and archives the data. The system also includes a close-circuit television display, which is visible throughout the drill ship on T.V. monitors showing a simple, easy to read, vertical current display. Under an ongoing contract, Woods Hole Group engineers and technicians provide periodic service and maintenance for the system on approximately a quarterly basis, and download the data that has been collected. Woods Hole Group scientists are then responsible for QA of the collected data, and preparation of oceanographic data reports.
