The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution will undertake a technology development project to improve the operating capabilities of Seasoar -- a widely used undulating towed vehicle that is used for making sustained measurements of physical, optical and other parameters in the upper 300-400 meters of the ocean at speeds of 8 knots. This SGER project will develop a set of engineering parameters to describe and evaluate the hydrodynamics and control of the towed vehicle in order to make its performance more reliable and predictable in a variety of sea states and scientific payload configurations. Design specifications and software will be made freely available to other groups using the Seasoar. As research interests become more focussed upon the spatial structure in the upper ocean, a sustained interest in using the Seasoar is anticipated.

伍兹霍尔海洋研究所将进行一项技术开发项目，以提高Seasoar的运行能力。Seasoar是一种广泛使用的起伏拖曳工具，用于以8节的速度持续测量海洋上层300-400米的物理、光学和其他参数。该SGER项目将开发一套工程参数来描述和评估拖曳车辆的水动力和控制，以使其在各种海况和科学的有效载荷配置下的性能更加可靠和可预测。设计规范和软件将免费提供给使用Seasoar的其他团体。随着研究兴趣越来越多地集中在上层海洋的空间结构上，人们对使用Seasoar的持续兴趣预计会持续下去。
