Oceanography Space Sciences Blow the Ballast! CyberMail ... Teachers' Corner Current Research: Submersibles - ALVIN Read the exciting story about ALVIN v. the Swordfish, straight from a 1967 Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution press release. A scientist onboard ALVIN at the time of the attack tells the story During ALVIN Dive No. 202 on July 6, 1967, the submarine was attacked and rammed by a swordfish (scientific name Xiphias Gladius). The attack took place on the Blake Plateau off the east coast of Florida at a depth of 2,000 feet. ALVIN had descended to the sea floor in that location to undertake a geological and geophysical survey of the area. The crew of the submarine was Marvin McCamis, pilot; Valentine Wilson, co-pilot; Edward F. K. Zarudzki, scientific observer. ALVIN reached the sea bottom at 2:30 p.m. It was driven about 10 feet ahead of its initial landing point in order to take photographs of a single, large deep-sea coral specimen. I was taking a picture through the bow porthole when I heard a scraping sound on the hull. Thinking that the noise had been caused by the submarine drifting and scraping over the sea floor, I looked down and saw that we were stationery and on the bottom. Simultaneously with the noise, the co-pilot who was watching out through the starboard porthole, recoiled from it exclaiming: "We have been hit by a fish!" Indeed, outside the starboard porthole I saw a large fish, apparently captive, violently trying to disengage itself and in the process tearing some of the skin and flesh of its back. A small amount of blood was flowing out of these tears.

In 1962, the U.S. Navy funded Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution's (WHOI's) newly created Deep Submergence Laboratory to build a small, maneuverable submarine. ALVIN was born in 1964 and took its first dive on June 26. It was named after WHOI researcher Allyn Vine, who had long championed the need for such a research vessel. ALVIN was designed to operate under battery power, allowing it to rise, sink and move without being attached to its mother ship.

Junior Ice Picks Oceanography in the Coast Guard The scientific study of the oceans has been a part of Coast Guard operations for more than a century. It began when the first Revenue Cutter Service vessels visited Alaska after the territory was purchased from Russia in 1867. They added oceanographic survey work to the long list of their other duties. The survey began slowly the summer of 1881, when CAPT Calvin Hooper of the RCS Corwin planned a "regular connected series" of Arctic current measurements in the Bering Strait. This research program was curtailed by the pace of the Corwin's other operations. Hooper then placed a smallboat crew ashore on West Diomede Island to take the measurements. When "boisterous weather" stopped the operation, Hooper contented himself with random current measurements in the strait, marking the Coast Guard's first oceanographic data collection. When these Arctic cruises became a regular annual mission, known as the Bering Sea Patrol, precise oceanographic data covering the lightly charted coastline served to ensure the safety of maritime navigation, trade, and the Revenue Cutter Service's mission to aid and protect the native population.

Walsh ATTENDEES WTEC: L. Gentry B. Mooney R. Seymour D. Walsh HOSTS: L. Savostin Director V. Demchenko; Vice Director Dr. A. Gorlov; (meeting coordinator) (and about 12 other senior staff members) BACKGROUND The purpose of the meeting was to provide the WTEC team with a general familiarity with the P.P. Shirshov Institute of Oceanology, which is the primary oceanographic research institution in Russia. This took a little over an hour, with the director conducting most of the briefing. A more in-depth visit to Shirshov was made later in the week by a three-person WTEC team. Some of the information that is in the report below was repeated at that time. Dr. Tengiz Borisov briefed the team on the work of KOPRON, the government's Special Committee for Undersea Work, for which he serves as chairman. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES P.P. Shirshov Institute is part of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The institute employs 2,000 people at four locations: St. Petersburg, Kaliningrad (Baltic base), Ghelendzhik (Black Sea base), and Moscow (headquarters). The institute formerly had a branch in Vladivostok, and is planning to establish a new branch in Murmansk or Archangelsk. The Moscow headquarters is divided into four branches: biological, marine geology, hydrophysics (which includes acoustics and physical oceanography), and technical (instrumentation, submersibles, etc.).

48. SENSORS AND INSTRUMENTATION Deep ocean submersibles such as the Mirs and Nautile continue to be effective Unmanned platforms for undersea and oceanographic research using enhanced http://www.wtec.org/loyola/subsea/c2_s10.htm

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS Deep ocean submersibles such as the Mirs and Nautile continue to be effective platforms for undersea work and research because of their extensive sensor, instrumentation, and manipulative capability. The Mir submersibles are considered by some scientists to be the best equipped and most capable research tools for deep sea (6,000 m) research. Although Russia and Ukraine have developed limited remote sensing capability for ocean studies using Lidar and acoustic Doppler current profilers, these designs are not unique and are within the current state of practice. Oceanographic instruments (CTDs, current meters, etc.) are being marketed by Russia and Ukraine. Their data quality is unknown, and intercalibrations should be conducted to determine measurement capabilities. Other factors, such as price, reliability, and maintainability, must also be addressed. Research-type ROVs and AUVs are being actively developed by several European countries outside of the FSU. Unmanned platforms for undersea and oceanographic research using enhanced sensors and samplers are being supported as major programs by the EEC. This is in marked contrast to the United States, where there is no major focused thrust for developing scientific AUVs. REFERENCES Babb, Richard J.

Today's Issues for UNOLS Table of Contents: What the Charter Says The University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System is an organization of 61 U. S. institutions that have academic research and education programs in the ocean sciences and an interest in promoting the best possible national shared use facilities to support these programs. Twenty-one of the UNOLS institutions are operators of these major shared use facilities, including research vessels, submersibles, aircraft and major instrumentation. Facilities are owned either by one of the Federal agencies or by individual institutions. UNOLS serves in an advisory role to the facility operators and to the supporting Federal agencies, and as a coordinator or facilitator of community-wide efforts directed toward scheduling, access, and improvement of existing facilities, and planning for future facilities. A healthy and vigorous United States research and education program in the ocean sciences requires broad access to the best possible mix of modern, capable and well-operated research vessels, aircraft, submersibles and other major shared-use facilities. The UNOLS mission provides a primary forum through which the ocean science research and education community, research facility operators and the supporting Federal agencies can work cooperatively to improve access, scheduling, operation and capabilities of current and future academic oceanographic facilities.

The wreck was then extensively photographed by the veteran 35-mm camera system ANGUS (Acoustically Navigated Geological Underwater Survey), which took the many "blue" pictures of the wreck seen in media coverage. Not knowing the ship's condition and concerned about entangling the vehicle cables in wreckage, the discovery team carefully "flew" or towed the two systems over the top of the wreck and the surrounding debris field. They alternated lowerings of Argo and ANGUS around the clock, adapting their imaging strategy as they realized that the ship was in two main pieces a distance apart and debris covered a wide area.

It is this expertise and the vehicles that will be made available to the National Ocean Exploration Initiative. Page 314 PREV PAGE TOP OF DOC Segment 5 Of 5 3. Should there be a specific capitalized program to develop new technologies for ocean exploration and observation, providing incentives and seed money to encourage the public and private sector to get involved in development? Such a program would be similar to the Hybrid Automobile Partnership and the Advanced Technology Program at the Department of Commerce. A new generation of deep diving submersibles has to be built in order to allow the full exploration of the ocean floor. None have been built during the past 25 years. Specialized remotely-operated vehicles, specifically designed for deep ocean exploration need to be designed and built. New sensors and remote observatories would fill in the gaps between submersible and ROV traverses. This is an excellent technology field for partnerships between universities, government and the public ocean engineering and technology sectors.
