Abstract: | With the introduction of improved underwater transducers, there is a need for a stable tow body for oceanographic measurements. This paper summarizes the development of a 260 kg, 1.83×1.06×0.81 m tow body. It covers the performance requirements, the tow body design and manufacture as well as its tow trials off of Biloxi, Mississippi aboard the R.V. Tommy Munro. |
