Success!!!!
Aloha Proof Module Working as
Expected
At 3 AM the morning of February 16, 2007, an
acoustic release was fired and the ALOHA Cabled Observatory Proof Module settled
to the bottom at 22* 45'N, 158* 00'W. All went pretty much as planned. The
hydrophone is sampling at 96 kHz on two channels and the Digiquartz pressure
sensor is operating well, with data being recorded at the AT&T Makaha Cable
Station.
