Abstract:

COMPONENTS OF A CABLE-TOWED OCEA OGRAPHIC INSTRUMENTATION SYSTEM HAVE BE N DEVELOPED AND TESTED TO EMO STRATED YDROM C ANICAL F A IBILITY. As part of the project, a d pre sor, ins rum modul , d d vice for attaching trailing-type fairing to the tow cable wer developed and tested. Designs for these ele nt re pr I V S IG TIONS ALSO INCLUDED A BASIC UDY OF P CI LI D INC I G QUIPM NT CAPABLE OF HANDLING RIGID LUMPS SPACED INTERMITTENTLY ALONG THE CABLE. Representative elemen s of the sys m, inclu i g he winc i g quip ent were test d at sea. The r sults of the d velopmental and sea tests verify the hydromechanic feasibility of towing the system to depth of 5,000 feet at spee s of sev n or eig kno . he capability of the winch in handling and storing c bles with i termittent, rigid lumps was lso proven.
