Preparation and deployment of the bottom ocean monitor for long term photographic observations of the sea floor
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
