Development of dynamic positioning buoy for vertical sensing: DGPS based system via satellite phones

Develops basic techniques of an oceanographic vertical observation buoy system to keep the position within some area, such as a warm-core. The authors have tested experimentally a prototype of a dynamic positioning buoy with GPS. The authors describe in detail a self-returning program examination of the prototype.
