Applied Ocean Observation Technologies

• Describe different instruments used for data collection at sea.
• Explain advantages and disadvantages of the different instruments in operational settings.
• Formulate and design a data collection experiment at sea.
• Prepare an experimental protocol to ensure data quality.
• Design an experimental plan to ensure coordination, logistics and safety for personnel and equipment.
• Perform data collection at sea on board of RV HAVFISKEN.
• Lead the experiment at sea and keep an experimental log.
• Execute post processing of acquired data.
• Prepare an experiment report with a comprehensive summary of the results

The objective of this course is to provide the student with an overview of aquatic field work that will enable the student to perform top down design of a scientific experiment in the aquatic environment under constraints such as organization, instrument availability, time and cost. The student will work in a group, plan and execute an actual experiment, perform post processing of acquired data and prepare a report documenting the process.
