Abstract
A comprehensive ocean observation platform is under development, which can measure biological, chemical and physical properties in the upper ocean mixed layer and the data obtained can be sent to laboratories in real time. The displacement of the platform is about 500 tons and plans for it to be moored in the North Pacific at a depth of 5000m. The wind and wave conditions in that area of the sea are very severe and safety precautions on the platform including mooring lines are essential. Model experiments and numerical simulations on motions and mooring tensions of the ocean observation platform were made for the design of the mooring system and platform. In general, results of numerical simulations showed good agreement with those of experiments, though a few points needing improvement were discussed.
