| Description | Development of: - instrument to record pressure at the bottom of the sea for up to ten years, releasing data capsules up to the surface for transmission at (e.g.) annual intervals; - control of instruments and transmission of data from remote sites via satellite - chain of temperature (and in principle other) sensors for towing behing a ship to obtain a section (2-D, vertical x ship track) of densely spaced measurements - instrument to record detailed and rapidly varying currents in 3-D through a profile in the bottom 1 metre (approx) of the sea. - Application of X-band radar to determine bathymetry and currents |
| Exploitation Route | Adoption of developed instruments by commercial sector for manufacture. In some cases this has happened. |
| Sectors | Aerospace Defence and Marine Digital/Communication/Information Technologies (including Software) Environment Transport |
