Influence of Suspension Cable Fixing Method on the Observation Depth Range of Profile Buoy
Profile buoys drift freely with the sea current and it's difficult to observe the fixed sea area for a long time.Using the suspension cable to restrain the profile buoy near the structure in the fixed sea area can overcome the drift of the profile buoy,better realize the three-dimensional observation of the ocean in the fixed sea area,and improve the observation ability of the ocean.There are two types of connections between cable and structure-fixed connection and sliding connection.This paper uses the catenary as the basic model to analyze the attitude,tension of the suspension cable and the observation depth range of the profile buoy under the two connection methods.The requirements for the length and connection position of the suspension cable under fixed connection condition and the requirement for the inclination angle of the structure under sliding connection condition are calculated.
