PROCUREMENT
An AEC furnished 7 x i7-ft. Model 16 Northwest camper trailer,
for use at the Wake Tamarin site,
is on standby at Damon Tract, Oahu, Hawaii.
POST-GO
CONSTRUCTION The AEC furnished Type II Wave Sensor equipped installation is
to be located at an undetermined off-shore location in the vicinity of Wake Island.
The primary objective of this scientific site is to measure and record forTsunami
studies,
the amplitude and time of arrival of long period waves over a predeter-
mined period. The underwater equipment will be emplaced by Defense Research
Laboratory (DRL) personnel. The auxiliary equipment will also be installed in
the AEC camper trailer by DRL personnel.
This installation will contain a differential sensor and data logging system. An
armored cable connects the implanted wave sensing transducer and the com pletely self-contained data logging system. The transducer and sensor will be
installed by DRL scuba divers in approximately 30 to 50-ft. of water, located
in a position to eliminate as much shore-induced phenomena as possible. Voice
communications to Damon Tract will be provided by the existing United States
Air Force Communications facility (F&S No. 28007).
DRL personnel will assemble at Damon Tract to prepare equipment prior to deployment. A DRL Type II installation team of 3 persons including scuba divers
and technical personnel will emplace and roll up equipment; one man will operate
and maintain the equipment for the duration of the program.
DRL personnel will
obtain subsistence through the local economy (F&S No. 28009).
