A simple scheme of the deep-sea (1700 m) anchorage of research vessel
Akademik Nikolai Andreev (10000 ton displacement) at the Krylov seamou
nt in the Atlantic during a joint Russian-American experiment on recep
tion of signals transmitted from Heard island is presented. Behavior o
f an anchored ship is described. Acoustic experiments in the ocean fro
m an anchored ship are advantageously compared to measurements from a
drifting ship.
