DART Prototype Test Deployment |
A test deployment of a prototype DART system was carried out from 23 May to 19 July 1995 off the Washington-Oregon coast in 2611 m of water [Milburn, et al., 1996]. The system proved to be quite robust, achieving a data return rate of 95%, with no loss of data attributable to high winds and waves; this, in spite of significant wave heights that exceeded 6 m, as recorded on 11 June by the NOAA NDBC data buoy located 70 km east of the mooring. An initial 6-station array is proposed to protect U.S. coastlines. | ||
