Abstract
Oceanographic data collected on a research vessel has been transmitted to a shore laboratory using the INMARSAT maritime satellite The system configuration used, consisted of Satellite Communication Terminals interfaced to desk top computers The system permits the transfer to error-free data files to a shore facility for subsequent processing and analysis Besides the capability of near real time oceanographic data processing, the facility could be used for adaptive cruise planning especially in oceanography survey work
