TL;DR: In this article, the effectiveness of the passive anti-roll tank system aboard the R/V Yaquina was determined using a systems analysis technique, measuring ship roll, effective waveslope and tank water transfer.

TL;DR: In this article, a study of 43 time series of ocean currents shows that the typically skewed distribution of speed becomes Gaussian when plotted against the logarithm of speed to the base ten.

TL;DR: In this article, a 4 m2 scintillation detector was arranged in the North Sea with a mean water layer above the detector of 0·5 to 3 m. The time intervals of intensity readout varied between 0·3 to 1 s.

TL;DR: In this paper, the stresses and flexures induced in a submerged neutrally buoyant pipe by a planar current are calculated and the results show that a considerable reduction in pipe diameter can be achieved by employing a moderately tensioned pipe, as compared to employing an untensioned pipe.

TL;DR: In this paper, a two-warp pelagic trawler with a winch design combining the principles of the helical (finger) capstan and regenerative braking is described.

TL;DR: An inexpensive commercially available indicating tachometer has been adapted for use in measuring the rate of descent (or ascent) of oceanographic cable as mentioned in this paper, which can be monitored at a number of remote stations aboard ship.
