Abstract-This paper presents a comparison between model predictions made with WHOI-Cable and actual measurements of the tensions in a deep-water oceanographic mooring. The mooring is pert of the MBARIOcean Observing System (MOOS) that utilizes an"electro-opticalmechanical (EOM) cable to deliver power and communications to a sub-sea network of instruments. The predictions agree acceptably with the measured results; and improvements t o the model and validation system that will he I incorporated in the next deployment are discussed: Also presented is an outline of the information learned about the mooring cables sercice envirbnment, both from the deployment results themselves and from the cable dynamics model.. : , ,. .
