Other Requirements:
Notes:                 "COOL" Floats are 2m glass floats with18" PVC vanes
                       at center.
                       Real-time access to 300 kHz BBADCP data will be used
                       simultaneously.
                       Access to (audio)output of 12kHz hydrophone and
