Abstract :
The ocean presents a sensing and communication system with a wide array of environmental and performance conditions not found anywhere else. Integrating sensors into a coherent measurement community in such a setting leads to an underwater observatory. An examination of the parameters of interest and operational conditions present at various ocean depths is presented.
