Low-drag and low-power design: 2000 km at 1 m/s, 4000 km at 0.5 m/s. Example sensors: CTD, DO2, nitrate, fluorescence/backscatter, ADCP, turbulence sensor, water sampler (in development), and Environmental Sample Processor (in development)

17 Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution 1 7 Commercial off-the-shelf technology (sensor) Ideal system is easily to use and interpret, transportable, commercially available, proven, reliable, broad selectivity for different compounds in oils and sensitive enough to be valuable for the response. Easy easy to operate, calibrate, not demand frequent calibration, low payload power and small. Should be reliable to be easily compared/married. Allow for distributing collaboration ; capacity to draw upon geographically distributed expertise.

Sea-Owl package on a REMUS AUV Map areas of chemical signal exist and don t exist. Deployed from the R/V Discovery (with two-people) Success: to provide georeferenced, time-stamped data on bulk hydrocarbons to responders.

38 The Need 3 8 Increasing traffic in Arctic Even in open ocean oil spills is difficult to characterize and map its extent Commerical off-the-shelf technology, easy to use, calibrate system We are developing an AUV-based approach leveraging a small, long-range system- Tethys Long-Range AUV (LRAUV). The LRAUV is helicopter-portable, allowing rapid response to incidents to provide situational awareness for first responders.
