Abstract :
The sea relay and weather tower is to overcome problems in communicating by microwave, radio, or sonic waves in water. The system is arranged to interconnect signals received by one means to transmission equipment of each of the three methods stated. The tower is floated horizontally to its location and erected using ballast. The microwave tower is hydraulically ejected into position. The lower end of the tower is at the sonic clear channel depth. Because its buoyancy comes from such a depth, the tower is not affected by wave motion. Each tower may be manned or unmanned. The more obvious uses of these towers are as weather stations; communications between land masses; and submarine communication.
