reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: AD0694962 | Need Help?

Abstract:

The report presents a general non-technical summation of the construction, operation and potential of the RP FLIP, the Floating Instrument Platform. It is designed as a super-stable open-sea free-floating platform from which to conduct research in the field of physical oceanography - primarily underwater acoustics to a scale heretofore impossible due to background noise and ship movement.
