Remote Sensing is ocean data collected by sensors on satellites or aircraft. The term implies that the sensor is placed at some considerable distance from the sensed target, in contrast to close-in measurements made by “in situ” sensing. Commonly measured parameters are ocean color, sea surface temperature and sea surface altitude.
Ropes and Tension Members are used to carry loads on moorings, towed sleds and devices lowered over the sides of ships. Fiber ropes, wire ropes and chains are examples of flexible tension members. Synthetic fiber ropes are made from Nylon, Dacron, Polypropylene, Kevlar, Vectran and Spectra. Considerations in selecting a material are strength, weight/buoyancy, and stretch. Synthetic fiber ropes can be terminated by eye splicing or by socketing with epoxy.
Wire ropes are typically made from highstrength carbon steel but stainless steel and other alloys are sometimes used. They are much more cut-and-abrasion resistant then fiber ropes. They are terminated with eyes, swaged sockets, and zinc- or resin-poured sockets.
Chains made of steel can provide even higher levels of strength and cut/abrasion resistance. They are typically terminated with shackles but other fittings such as links, rings, and swivels are also used.
