Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A low-cost, light-weight, long-life ocean-bottom sensor system has been developed. It incorporates three microprocessors, which control data acquisition, intermediate processing, and recording, all in digital form. The system has been used successfully in several seismic field experiments, which include detection of natural earthquakes, seismic refraction surveys and investigation of acoustic wave propagation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Encyclopedia of Earthquake Engineering is designed to be the authoritative and comprehensive reference covering all major aspects of the science of earthquake engineering, specifically focusing on the interaction between earthquakes and infrastructure. The encyclopedia comprises approximately 300 contributions. Since earthquake engineering deals with the interaction between earthquake disturbances and the built infrastructure, the emphasis is on basic design processes important to both non-specialists and engineers so that readers become suitably well informed without needing to deal with the details of specialist understanding. The encyclopedia’s content provides technically-inclined and informed readers about the ways in which earthquakes can affect our infrastructure and how engineers would go about designing against, mitigating and remediating these effects. The coverage ranges from buildings, foundations, underground construction, lifelines and bridges, roads, embankments and slopes. The encyclopedia also aims to provide cross-disciplinary and cross-domain information to domain-experts. This is the first single reference encyclopedia of this breadth and scope that brings together the science, engineering and technological aspects of earthquakes and structures.

Book excerpt: : In this thesis, the focus is to design and test a pressure sensor intended for taking measurements at the ocean-bottom to quantify small pressure perturbations in large ambient pressure ranges. This is a situation that arises in oceanographic circumstance such as seafloor vertical deformation or tsunami detection and characterization. The use of ocean-bottom pressure sensors in monitoring vertical deformation in the seafloor is important for providing information on changes in the Earth's crust including earthquakes, tsunamis, and slow slip events [1]. To gather useful seafloor deformation data, an ocean-bottom pressure sensor should resolve pressure changes to within the centimeters of water [2]. For example, monitoring vertical deformation at Axial Seamount after 1998 eruption was done so in the range of tens of centimeters at a depth of 1500 m [3]. The necessity for detection of a tsunami in particular, is important to inhabitants of coastal regions to enable early warnings that can reduce causalities when a tsunami occurs. Large tsunami events such as the 2004 Indian Ocean and 2011 Tōhoku tsunamis are some of the most extreme examples in recent times. These events and the possibility of future tsunami occurrences stress the necessity to develop improved advanced warning systems. A tsunami is a series of waves that propagate through the ocean, containing energy capable of displacing a volume of water larger than typical ocean waves.

This book was released on 1996-12-03 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States faces decisions requiring information about the oceans in vastly expanded scales of time and space and from oceanic sectors not accessible with the suite of tools now used by scientists and engineers. Advances in guidance and control, communications, sensors, and other technologies for undersea vehicles can provide an opportunity to understand the oceans' influence on the energy and chemical balance that sustains humankind and to manage and deliver resources from and beneath the sea. This book assesses the state of undersea vehicle technology and opportunities for vehicle applications in science and industry. It provides guidance about vehicle subsystem development priorities and describes how national research can be focused most effectively.

Download or read book Challenges and Innovations in Ocean In Situ Sensors written by Eric Delory and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2018-09-21 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Challenges and Innovations in Ocean In-Situ Sensors: Measuring Inner Ocean Processes and Health in the Digital Age highlights collaborations of industry and academia in identifying the key challenges and solutions related to ocean observations. A new generation of sensors is presented that addresses the need for higher reliability (e.g. against biofouling), better integration on platforms in terms of size and communication, and data flow across domains (in-situ, space, etc.). Several developments are showcased using a broad diversity of measuring techniques and technologies. Chapters address different sensors and approaches for measurements, including applications, quality monitoring and initiatives that will guide the need for monitoring. Integrates information across key marine and maritime sectors and supports regional policy requirements on monitoring programs Offers tactics for enabling early detection and more effective monitoring of the marine environment and implementation of appropriate management actions Presents new technologies driving the next generation of sensors, allowing readers to understand new capabilities for monitoring and opportunities for another generation of sensors Includes a global vision for ocean monitoring that fosters a new perspective on the direction of ocean measurements
