Abstract :
An easily deployable oceanographic sensor system consisting of a free-floating recording buoy and a tethered sensor suspension arrangement is described. An analysis of the dynamic response of the system to surface wave excitation is presented. Design optimization criteria that ensure minimal sensor motion are established.
