Specifically, EM sensing from unmanned systems enables the positioning of array-based sensors directly over targets of interest in a wide range of littoral environments: from surf zone to benthic areas in 100's of meters of water. Targets include both anthropogenic objects such as marine archeology and salvage, infrastructure associated with undersea cables, seabed foundations for windfarms, and unexploded ordnance (UXO) and other munitions hazards as well as shallow natural and geologic objects such as freshwater lens, gas hydrates, mineral ore, and heterogeneous sediment deposits. In this paper, we present aspects of the design, development and testing of array configurations from testing and evaluations in littoral environments. This includes integration and testing with multiple remotely and autonomously operated swimming platforms (ROVs, AUVs, and hybrids). In particular, we demonstrate the deployment of an integrated system based on a hybrid autonomous underwater vehicle and comprising bottom following, station keeping, and waypoint mapping control, a multi-channel frequency-domain EM array, and multiple high resolution imaging sensors. Results from initial testing and pilot studies for UXO surveying, marine archeology, and seabed classification are summarized.","PeriodicalId":403976,"journal":{"name":"OCEANS 2015 - MTS/IEEE Washington","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116704369","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Finding seamounts with altimetry-derived gravity data","authors":"Seung‐Sep Kim, P. Wessel","doi":"10.23919/OCEANS.2015.7401883","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.23919/OCEANS.2015.7401883","url":null,"abstract":"Seamounts are ubiquitous manifestations of underwater volcanism that rise above the surrounding ocean floor by more than a few hundred or thousand meters. Any temporal and spatial variations of the underwater volcanic and tectonic processes that formed seamounts can primarily be understood through their geometric characterization and spatial distribution. For this study, we utilize the vertical gravity gradient (VGG) version 23.1 derived from satellite altimetry, which includes new data from the CryoSat-2, Envisat, and Jason1 missions. A repeated statistical comparison for an area with no significant geologic features shows that the standard deviation of VGG 23.1 is decreased about 48% from the previous release, indicating the signal-to-noise ratio has been improved significantly from the previous version. In order to examine whether the new data give us better opportunities to find seamounts, we choose near-ridge environments constrained by good bathymetry coverage. For a given area, the nonlinear inversion method to search for seamounts is applied. We approximate VGG anomalies over seamounts as sums of individual, partially overlapping, elliptical polynomial functions, which allows us to form a non-linear inverse problem by fitting the polynomial model to the observations. Model parameters for a potential seamount include geographical location, peak VGG amplitude, major and minor axes of the elliptical base, and the azimuth of the major axis. The non-linear inversion is very sensitive to the initial values for the location and amplitude; hence, they are constrained by the center and amplitude of the uppermost contours obtained with a 1-Eotvos contour interval. With these initial conditions from contouring, we execute a stepwise and fully automated inversion and obtain optimal model estimates for potential seamounts; these are statistically evaluated for significance using the Akaike Information Criterion and F tests. Here we present a preliminary result of seamount detection using the new global data and discuss possibilities for constructing a new synthesized global dataset of seamounts.","PeriodicalId":403976,"journal":{"name":"OCEANS 2015 - MTS/IEEE Washington","volume":"71 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127168491","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, these profilers only control the depth itself while lack the control ability in horizontal plane. The disadvantage of lacking horizontal mobility for profilers leads to drifting along with current passively and the deviation from the desired region. In this paper, we present a hybrid underwater profiler (HUP) aiming to overcome the disadvantage. The hybrid profiler has the characteristics as follows: it combines the capacity of an underwater profiler to have a good maneuverability in vertical direction, and the capacity of an underwater glider to glide in order to rectify the horizontal displacement offset generated by current. Due to the characteristics, the hybrid profiler could be used for ocean persistent monitoring to get the profiling data in a specified area.","PeriodicalId":403976,"journal":{"name":"OCEANS 2015 - MTS/IEEE Washington","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127348602","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

OTN uses electronic telemetry to document the local-to-global movements and survival of aquatic animals, and to link them to environmental correlates. OTN works with various tracking methods including satellite and data storage tag systems, but its dominant focus is acoustic telemetry. Results from OTN studies inform conservation, management and policy for aquatic biological resources. OTN is built on global partnerships for the sharing of equipment and data. The OTN has stimulated technological development in telemetry by bringing researchers with needs for new capabilities together with manufacturers to generate, test, and operationalize new technologies. This has included pioneering work into the use of marine autonomous vehicles (Slocum electric gliders, and a Liquid Robotics Wave Glider) in animal telemetry research. Similarly, OTN scientists worked with the Sea Mammal Research Unit to pioneer the placement of mobile acoustic receiver units on grey seals, linked via Bluetooth to a satellite transmitter/receiver. This provided receiver coverage in areas occupied by the seals during their typically extensive migrations, reported any detections the sealborne receivers had in near-real time, and allowed for the examination of behavioral interactions among the seals as well as between seals and other tagged species. OTN and its researchers have also partnered with industry to use OTN's infrastructure to help provide answers to questions posed to industry by regulators prior to authorizing their proposed developments of the ocean.

With its ability to follow animal migrations, change courses mid-mission, and interact with existing tracking infrastructure, the Wave Glider changes how tagged animals can be tracked. Additionally, we will discuss other sensor packages that could be added to a Fish Telemetry Wave Glider to provide complementary environmental data.

We desire to observe microscopic life in a phytoplankton patch in its natural frame of reference (which is moving with the ocean current), thereby permitting resolution of time-dependent evolution of the population. To achieve this goal, we have developed a method for a Tethys-class long range autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) (which has a propeller and a buoyancy engine) to detect, track, and sample a phytoplankton patch in buoyancy-controlled drifting mode. In this mode, the vehicle shuts off its propeller and actively controls its buoyancy to autonomously find the peakchlorophyll layer, stay in it, and trigger water sampling in the layer. In an experiment in Monterey Bay, CA in July 2015, the Makai AUV, which was equipped with a prototype 3rd-generation Environmental Sample Processor (3G-ESP), ran the algorithm to autonomously detect the peak-chlorophyll layer, and drifted and triggered ESP samplings in the layer.","PeriodicalId":403976,"journal":{"name":"OCEANS 2015 - MTS/IEEE Washington","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126140967","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The progress of the AUV and the USV were available in real-time throughout the demonstration, and was presented in Maritime Robotics' in-house Vehicle Control Station (VCS) software. The acoustic telemetry data was also relayed to the REMUS Vehicle Interface Program (VIP), used for monitoring the health of the AUV.
