Abstract

Methods of collecting information about the deep ocean sediments are considered. A compact, flexible data collection and management system based on microprocessor technology is developed. The hardware of the system is detailed and a typical software operating system is presented which controls sensor operations, stores temporary data and communicates with a shipboard computer system.
