SGER: Development of an Engineering Control Package for theSeasoar Towed Vehicle

伍兹霍尔海洋研究所将开展一项 技术开发项目，以改善运营 Seasoar的能力--一种广泛使用的波浪拖曳式 用于持续测量的车辆 物理、光学等参数在300-400以上 以每小时8海里的速度在海洋深处航行 这个SGER项目 将开发一套工程参数来描述和 评估被拖车辆的流体动力学和控制 为了使其性能更加可靠， 可预测的各种海洋状态和科学 有效载荷配置。 设计规范和软件 将免费提供给其他团体使用， 海桨 随着研究兴趣越来越集中在 海洋上层的空间结构， 预计将有兴趣使用Seasoar。

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.
