Description

The components that make up the Bottom Ocean Monitor are described. The unit is designed to photographically record bottom fauna; the procedures used in testing on-board cameras are described. Recovery involves the use of a sonically-triggered release. The main instrument package then floats to the surface for retrieval by a research vessel; the base tripod remains on the ocean floor. Detailed specifications for component instruments are provided, and refurbishing procedures for each are given. 7 figures, 1 table
