In OCEANS 2024 - Halifax, MTS, IEEE, Halifax, NS, Canada, 23-26 September 2024, doi: 10.1109/OCEANS55160.2024.10753947 (2024)

This paper describes the design, build and operation of portable, passive acoustic buoys (P-PAB) with soft tethered hydrophones, capable of real-time satellite signal transmission to shore. We describe the set of commercial components used in the system, reliability of communications, power usage, duty cycle, as well as the at-sea deployment logistics.
