Module<br />
Functional component in a distributed system. The unit <strong>of</strong> granularity in an operational<br />
distributed system architecture. Modules can be hierarchically decomposed if necessary.<br />
Molded chain<br />
Mooring chain with spiral-wrapped conductors (and optionally) optical fibres encased in<br />
urethane.<br />
Monitor<br />
Observe and check the progress or quality <strong>of</strong> something over a period <strong>of</strong> time.<br />
Mooring<br />
Physical platform, containing a buoyant element constrained to a geographic location by an<br />
anchoring device.<br />
Mooring, Flanking<br />
An oceanographic mooring located at a horizontal distance from a main mooring to allow the<br />
resolution <strong>of</strong> mesoscale structure, typically at a distance <strong>of</strong> 50 to 100 kilometres.<br />
Mooring, Hybrid Pr<strong>of</strong>iling<br />
A mooring that enables measurements over nearly the entire water column using two,<br />
potentially different, types <strong>of</strong> pr<strong>of</strong>ilers. One pr<strong>of</strong>iler covers the range between a midwater<br />
float and the surface and another covers the range between the midwater float towards the<br />
bottom.<br />
Mooring, Sub-surface<br />
Buoyant element is below the surface, no surface expression.<br />
Mooring, Surface<br />
Permanent surface expression, Buoyant element is at the surface.<br />
