However, most direct observations and samplings of seep sites have been concentrated above water depths of approximately 3000 ft (1000 m) because of the scarcity of deep diving manned submersibles. In the summer of 2006, Minerals Management Service (MMS) and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Admini- stration (NOAA) supported 24 days of DSV Alvin dives on the deep continental slope. Site selection for these dives was accomplished through surface reflectivity analysis of the MMS slope-wide 3D seismic database followed by a photo reconnaissance cruise. From 80 potential sites, 20 were studied by photo reconnaissance from which 10 sites were selected for Alvin dives.

  • The Project Investigators Will Comply with the Data Management And
    Data Management Plan Data Policy Compliance: The project investigators will comply with the data management and dissemination policies described in the NSF Award and Administration Guide (AAG, Chapter VI.D.4) and the NSF Division of Ocean Sciences Sample and Data Policy. Pre-Cruise Planning: Pre-cruise planning will occur through email and teleconFerences. The cruises will utilize a deep submergence vehicle (DSV Alvin, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution). Preliminary dive plans will be written prior to the cruise, and updated and amended prior to each dive based on cruise events. Cruise event logging: Detailed dive reports For each Alvin dive will be digitally compiled as MicrosoFt Word documents during the cruise. Each dive report will include site inFormation, times oF launch and recovery, sampling events, and watch-stander logs. These, along with each dive plan, participant inFormation, and samples logs will be compiled into a cruise report at the conclusion oF the cruise and shared among the cruise party. Description of Data Types This project will produce observational datasets through the ship's underway sensors, DSV Alvin sensors and cameras, deployed autonomous chemistry sensors, and derived From analysis oF collected biological specimens. Observational data will be collected on research cruise at the East PaciFic Rise planned to take place during Jan-April oF two diFFerent years. Cruise underway data: Standard underway data collected along the ship’s track (e.g., sea surFace temperature, salinity, etc.). File types: .csv ASCII Files; Repository: BCO-DMO and the Rolling Deck to Repository (R2R). Alvin data: Routine sensor data (e.g., temperature), video, and images collected by the DSV Alvin, as well as dive event logs, are made available through WHOI dives FrameGrabber system at http://4dgeo.whoi.edu/alvin and archived at the National Deep Submergence Facility (NDSF) at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution.

ABSTRACT For the United States Navy, submarine propulsion has long since evolved from Diesel Electric to a complete reliance on Nuclear Power. Nuclear propulsion is the ultimate atmosphere independent power source, allowing the submarine to divorce itself from the surface, limited only by the endurance of the crew embarked.

  • The Development of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV); a Brief Summary
    The Development of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV); A Brief Summary D. Richard Blidberg, (blidberg@ausi,org) Autonomous Undersea Systems Institute, Lee New Hampshire, USA Introduction The concept of a submersible vehicle is not a new idea. The first American submarine was called “Turtle.” It was built at Saybrook, Connecticut in 1775 by David Bushnell and his brother, Ezra. The Turtle was a little egg-shaped wooden submarine held together by iron straps. Turtle bobbed like a cork in rough surface winds and seas even though she was lead weighted at the bottom. In this hand and foot-operated contraption, one person could descend by operating a valve to admit water into the ballast tank and ascend with the use of pumps to eject the water. Two flap-type air vents at the top opened when the hatch was clear of water and closed when it was as not. The air supply lasted only 30 minutes. The Turtle's first engagement, which took place in New York Harbor in 1776, was also the first naval battle in history involving a submarine. [Pararas] In November of 1879, the Reverend George W. Garrett designed, what was considered by some to be the world's first practical powered submarine, the “Resurgam.” It was built at the Brittannia Engine Works and Foundry of J. B. Cochran in Birkenhead, England and was powered by a Lamm 'fireless' steam engine, and could travel for some ten hours on power stored in an insulated tank. After these historic underwater vehicles, there have been many more submersibles developed and used operationally for a number of different tasks.
