Summary of Field Work: |
Upon arriving at DART Station 44402, the team will begin buoy operations. Buoy operations will consist of recovering the existing BPR then bringing the buoy on deck. Once the buoy mooring is secured, the existing buoy payloads and batteries will be removed and replaced with an upgraded payload and new batteries. A new (upgraded) BPR will then be deployed. Following confirmation that the BPR has reached the ocean floor, a three point acoustic triangulation method will be conducted, as feasible, to confirm the BPR position, utilizing the Angulate program.
Following the service visit of DART Station 44402, the ship will remain on station for verification of the next scheduled 6-hour data transmission to the RUDICS Server. This will be coordinated with the DAC, DART Analyst or DART Project Manager. Once the block of hourly transmitted data is verified by the National Data Buoy Center (NDBC), the ship will be released from station.
