See recent photos from the following TAO stations: 2N 95W, 0 95W, 2S 95W, 8N 110W, 5N 110W, 2N 110W, 0 110W Deep-ocean Assessment and Reporting of Tsunamis (DART)DART Prototype Test DeploymentA test deployment of a prototype DART system was carried out from 23 May to 19 July 1995 off the Washington-Oregon coast in 2611 m of water [Milburn, et al., 1996]. The system proved to be quite robust, achieving a data return rate of 95%. No loss of data was attributable to high winds and waves, in spite of significant wave heights that exceeded 6 m, as recorded on 11 June by the NOAA NDBC data buoy located 70 km east of the mooring. An initial 6-station array has been deployed.
