PIFSC — SOSI SST buoy is deployed at Johnston Atoll A new SOSI-SST buoy was deployed at the established SST site. The previously deployed SST broke free from its mooring during Hurricane Ioke on approximately 22 August 2006. One WTR was recovered and replaced in the same location. An EAR mooring site was established on the south side of the Atoll, near the large boat channel. A total of five STRs were recovered and six were deployed; four independent moorings were conducted, one on the newly deployed SST anchor and one on the new EAR mooring (Fig. B.1.1. and Table B.1.1.). |

PIFSC — SOSI SST Buoy Data from Island / Atolls SST buoys are sea surface moorings that telemeter in situ observations of high-resolution SST in near real-time. Data are recorded internally and transmitted, via satellite, at 1-hour intervals. The two types of buoys, an Ocean Trek Research (OTR) SB200 solar rechargeable buoy and the battery-powered Sound Ocean Systems, Inc. (SOSI) Model SST-001 use a SBE 39 temperature recorder for SST measurements. Images of the two types of SST buoys can be seen in Figures 2.3.4b and 2.3.4c. Data from the SST buoys are presented in the respective island/atoll chapters of this report... |

PIFSC — SOSI Prototype Underwater Video System Deployed The prototype I design from SOSI used a system designed for video security systems. The system used a multiplexer that allowed all four video images to be displayed at the same time, or to rotate through the four frames in a pre-programmed manner. The resolution was fixed, however, and only one video stream was recorded. The system input composite video and converted this stream to a digital format to be stored to a hard drive. This whole system was housed in a custom-built aluminum pressure housing... |

PIFSC — SOSI ADCP/CTD moorings deployed. Arrived Jarvis Island at 1215. Disembarked Horvath and White to conduct terrestrial surveys of vegetation and birds. Deployed subsurface ADCP/CTD mooring (SOSI #002) in 15 m of water on the southwest reef terrace at position 0o22.750'S, 160o00.932'W. Conducted two fish and benthic REAs along reef slopes on west and south sides. Established permanent transect along south side. Collected specimens of one species of Acropora coral to determine sexual reproductive status. Conducted six shallow-water CTDs to a depth of 30 m. Conducted four CTDs to 500 m and conducted ADCP transects around Jarvis throughout the night. |

OnePetro.org — Designing an Ocean Mining Collector System implicity of form and function, flexibility, ruggedness, and redundancy are four important characteristics of a manganese nodule mining collector. Since the collector is the least accessible element of any ocean mining system, it's reliability will tend to dominate the overall reliability, and, therefore, the economics of the total mining system. A design philosophy and development program is proposed which maximizes the influence of the above characteristics on the reliability of the collector system. Although the design and test philosophies described in this paper were developed for ocean mining collectors, they are general in nature and are applicable to subsea systems outside the ocean mining industry... |
