Support for the SPACE07 Experiment
2009
Preisig, James
The Surface Processes and Acoustic Communications Experiment (SPACE07) was planned for the Air-Sea Interaction Tower (ASIT) which is part of WHOI's Martha's Vineyard Coastal Observatory (MVCO) in October 2007. This grant was originally planned to fund much of the work needed to prepare for, deploy, and recover the experiment. Due to legal issues that arose at ONR just days before the start of the experiment, the planned experiment was cancelled, equipment was demobilized and two subsequent experiments were planned and executed (RACE08 and SPACE08) in March and October 2008, respectively. This grant supported the engineering time required to execute these experiments, the acquisition, set up, and management of a large data server to distribute the huge volume of collected data to investigators at 18 different research groups, and prepare, deploy, and analyze the data from a broadband vertical backscatter sonar and adv turbulence array that were central to characterizing the small scale oceanography and surface conditions throughout the experiment. The experiments were very successful and have provided data sufficient to support several years of scientific and engineering research and development.
