Abstract

Experiments under the sponsorship of the U.S. Geological Survey in the use of a convertible data collection platform (CDCP) were performed by 13 organizations. Success in its use was related directly to the resources applied by the experimenter. After design faults were corrected by the manufacturer, most of the problems encountered were associated with power supplies, sensor, and sensor interfaces. In general, the CDCP and the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite systems performed as specified. Based on the experience gained, the Bonneville Power Administration is embarking on an operational implementation of the system, and the other organizations are continuing experimental deployment.
