HH-3F Tests 



Two AXBT's were deployed from 

 an HH-3F on 16 November 1987 

 (Table D-1). The AXBT tests from 

 ttie HH-3F were successful. A 

 strong, clear signal was received 

 from both AXBTs. Both AXBT's 



transmitted for a period of time 

 equivalent to a complete 300 m 

 drop. The temperature profile for 

 the second drop was isothermal, 

 probably because it was dropped 

 in waters less than 300 meters, 

 and the temperature probe simply 

 measured the bottom temperature 

 for the remainder of the 3.3 minute 

 drop time. 



HC-130H Tests 



AXBT tests were conducted from 

 the HC-130H on two dates, 18 

 November 1987 and 7 January 

 1988. Table D-2 summarizes the 

 deployment information for the two 

 dates. On 18 November, two 

 AXBT's were deployed near 

 Newfoundland, Canada. On the 

 second test date, four more 

 AXBT's were deployed oft North 

 Carolina.
