Full-Depth Current Profiling Around the Global Ocean
modeling blends different data types subject to these laws.Away from coasts, slowly-changing currents can largely be described by the hydrographic data. But the interpretation can be equivocal due to subjective choices about deep motions. When added to an inverse model, the LADCP data constrain possible solutions for the missing deep currents.Fig. 5: LADCP data show the deep extent of the Great Whirl, a large intense gyre off Somalia.Units: Depth(m), Distance(deg).

First Floating Mega Island Tested
Floating ports and cities possible solutions to sea level rise and overcrowded cities MARIN (Maritime Research Institute) tested an innovative concept for a floating mega island. The island comprises 87 large floating triangles that are flexibility connected to one another. Together they form a flexible floating island that can be as large as 1 to 5 km in cross-section. Olaf Waals, project manager and the concept developer: “As sea level rises, cities become overcrowded and more activities are carried out at sea, raising the dikes and reclaiming land from the seas are perhaps no
Aker Wins Hook-Up Deal for Johan Sverdrup Field
. It will be carried out mainly in Stavanger and offshore. Kvaerner will work closely with Aker Solutions and contribute to all parts of the project delivery. "We look forward to teaming up with Kvaerner to deliver on this next milestone step and together work with Statoil to find the best possible solutions for this major development," said Knut Sandvik, head of projects at Aker Solutions. The agreement also contains hook-up options for the field's processing and living quarter platforms, which are scheduled to be installed in 2019.
SUPSALV & Finding El Faro
2001, one of our submarines tragically hit and sunk the Ehime Maru during a routine training exercise. Showing true sorrow and good will to the Japanese families who lost loved ones in the incident, President Bush promised to do everything possible to recover those who were lost. In looking at the possible solutions at this depth, we came up with few alternatives. At 2,000 feet, we couldn’t find anyone certified to conduct saturation dives to this depth. We then looked at the idea of penetrating the ship with ROVs. This option was ruled out due to the high probability of ROV entanglement and inability
