Design and Sea Trial of Real-Time Communication Subsurface Mooring System Based on Underwater Winch
In view of the urgent demand of"Transparent Ocean"project for real-time,long-term and continuous underwater observation,the design of real-time communication subsurface mooring system based on underwater winch is carried out.This system uses an under-water winch to drive the satellite communication buoy(SCB)for profile movement.The SCB collects observation data from ADCP and CTD sensors on the main float through communication cables.When the SCB moves to sea surface,the data is sent back to the shore station via Iridium communications.This paper introduces the system design and key component design of real-time communication subsurface mooring system in detail,and verifies the feasibility of system design by the sea trial.
