Adams, “The Basis and Application of a Simulation Model for an Oceanographic Data Transmission System Using HF Radio,” Technical Report ESSA Technical Report ERL 171-ITS 109, U.S. Department of Commerce, Environmental Science Services Administration, Institute for Telecommunication Sciences and Aeronomy, June 1970.
Abstract:
This report describes a digital computer program for simulating ocean data transmission systems that use high frequency radio. It is intended for use in the design and operation of the Integrated Global Ocean Station System (IGOSS) and the National Data Buoy Systems. Requirements for these two systems are reviewed, and important factors affecting overall transmission system performance are identified. The program predicts performance as a function of these parameters for use in cost/effectiveness studies. A baseline system is described, and sample results from the program are given for it.
