Russell Have you got a test deployment programme you can send to the group?
I think ships are a poor platform. Better to start with static features with stable, single directional flows around them. This means you can equate bubble age with distance easily. You can also easily access and maintain the equipment, and leave it running inexpensively and unmanned. Piers, bridge pillars, oil rigs, etc. all offer potentially appropriate places for a trial, depending on local conditions. It seems your tank demo rig is easily good enough for a test deployment at sea. Is there anything to stop you re using the equipment in the field? Key parameters I'd look to test are: bubble lifetime (particularly as a function of density, where impurities are a factor in stability) Albedo Net primary production Effect on gills, vision, behavior etc. for marine animals Would you agree? It seems your idea is by far the closest to a 'pocket money' test deployment. It would be great to get a very small scale field trial running ASAP.
