Science Objectives | |
Annual service of three DART buoys in the north Atlantic. The DART buoys are the Deep-Ocean Assessment and Reporting of Tsunami station used for the early detection of tsunamis and to acquire data for real-time inudation forecasting. | |

Science Activities | |
Deploying three buoys with complete mooring, recover and deploy three bottom pressure recorders, recover one mooring and possibly recover 1-2 drifting buoys (depending upon their position). In addition, a full ocean depth CTD cast is required at each station, along with current profiles within a 60 nm radius of each station collected with hull-mounted ADCP. An echo sounder (or similar) depth measurement is required at each buoy location. | |
