CONCLUSIONS<br />
The results <strong>of</strong> this test provide a basis for designing pressure and temperature<br />
sensors for ADRAMS buoys. They apply directly to the equipment and<br />
weather conditions actually tested, and may be instructive for other<br />
applications.<br />
Insulation <strong>of</strong> the buoy hull effectively reduced temperature variations<br />
in the buoy electronics and thus improves temperature compensation <strong>of</strong> the<br />
pressure sensor. This feature has since become standard for ADRAMS.<br />
The barometers were free from drift during the field experiment.<br />
Temperature compensation errors were not detectable. The clock correction<br />
