Abstract: The disclosure generally relates to a method, apparatus and system to deploy aquatic sensors to obtain oceanographic data. In an exemplary embodiment, a free-floating or untethered sensor receives signals from different transmitters. The signals may be configured to travel through air and/or water. The sensor records each signals' time of arrival and determines its location in relationship to known transmitters based on the signal travel time. The position of each sensor may be determined by triangulation to several devices whose positions are known. The distances from the sensor in question to each device is measured by means of time-of-flight measurements for a wireless signal from the sensor to each known-position device. Other methods such as trilateration or dead-reckoning may also be used. The sensor may additionally collect and record oceanographic or other environmental data.

Abstract translation: 本公开一般涉及一种部署水生传感器以获得海洋学数据的方法，装置和系统。 在示例性实施例中，自由浮动或无阻塞传感器接收来自不同发射机的信号。 信号可以被配置成穿过空气和/或水流动。 传感器记录每个信号的到达时间，并根据信号行进时间确定其与已知发射机的位置。 每个传感器的位置可以通过三角测量来确定位置已知的几个设备。 通过对于从传感器到每个已知位置装置的无线信号的飞行时间测量，测量到所述传感器到每个设备的距离。 也可以使用其他方法，例如三边测量或推算。 传感器可以另外收集和记录海洋学或其他环境数据。
