This manual describes the wide range of electromechanical,
electrochemical and electro-optical transducers at the heart of
current field-deployable ocean observing instruments. Their modes
of operation, precision and accuracy are discussed in detail.
Observing platforms ranging from the traditional to the most
recently developed are described, as are the challenges of
integrating instrument suits to individual platforms. Technical
approaches are discussed to address environmental constraints on
instrument and platform operation such as power sources, corrosion,
biofouling and mechanical abrasion. Particular attention is also
given to data generated by the networks of observing platforms that
are typically integrated into value-added data visualization
products, including numerical simulations or models. Readers will
learn about acceptable data formats and representative model
products. The last section of the book is devoted to the challenges
of planning, deploying and maintaining coastal ocean observing
systems. Readers will discover practical applications of ocean
observations in diverse fields including natural resource
conservation, commerce and recreation, safety and security, and
climate change resiliency and adaptation. This volume will appeal
to ocean engineers, oceanographers, commercial and recreational
ocean data users, observing systems operators, and advanced
undergraduate and graduate students in the field of ocean
observing.
