Since the waters of each region of the world differ in their physical characteristics - such as temperature gradients, pressure-gradients, salinity-levels, etc, - different water-columns offer varying degrees of advantage or disadvantage to platforms and sensors that either exploit or operate within these varied water-columns.
The second phase is expected to be completed in 2010, consisting of early science of geology, geophysics and temperature gradient drilling.
2008) proposed design charts that are based on the ratio R of the CC cooling load to the total load, the thermal comfort represented by the temperature gradient (dT/dZ), and the amount of displaced air parameter (P = (Q/m)).
