Abstract

From August 1989 until August 1990, a simple acoustic telemetry system was used for obtaining real-time data from four inverted echo sounders (IESs) deployed in the Synoptic Ocean Prediction Experiment (SYNOP) inlet array in the Gulf Stream east of Cape Hatteras. The telemetry system is based on encoding data as a time-delayed broadcast acoustic signal: the delay of the time of broadcast of the signal, with respect to a reference time, is proportional to the data value. The changes in delay time, from one broadcast signal to the next, are recorded at a remote receiving station. -from Authors
