| Abstract | Acoustic Doppler logs have a typical bottom-tracking range of 500 m; whilst this is perfectly adequate for use on continental shelves, it is clearly inadequate for use in the deep ocean. Doppler logs use narrow beams requiring large transducers at the low frequencies necessary for long range. In contrast acoustic correlation logs can use smaller, lighter and less expensive low frequency transducers while delivering long range performance as they only require wide beams (/spl sim/20/spl deg/). In this paper we present results from a 22 kHz acoustic correlation current profiler (ACCP) installed on RRS Discovery from the eastern North Atlantic and the western Mediterranean Sea in water depths of 110 to 3000 m. A deficiency in the bottom tracking algorithm resulted in the instrument recording false bottom echoes for extended periods. Nevertheless, the ACCP is a valuable instrument for measuring the speed of a vessel over the ocean floor with proven performance between 500 and 3000 m. As a velocity log on an autonomous underwater vehicle it would significantly augment an inertial or dead-reckoning autopilot. Simulating a 30 hour AUV mission using our ship data at an average speed of 7.6 km hour/sup -1/, involving several changes of course, resulted in an integrated position error of less than 2 km over a 227 km track. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
