Description

FLIP Floating Instrument Platform is a 355-long floating oceanographic instrument platform It is towed in a horizontal position to its destination behind a ship, then its ballast tants are flooded and it tilts to an upright position. All but 55-feet of its length disappears below the water, providing an extremely stable platform. Since 1962, FLIP has been used for a broad range of oceanographic research including wave attenuation sound propagation, scattering, and reverberation seismic wave recording and, measurement of internal waves. FLIP resides at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. (U.S. Navy - 10/28/2003)
