This documentation contains future plans for the Ocean-TUNE supported deployment at UCLA of an open testbed suite, accessible to the public. The testbed will consist of U/W sensors that flow with ocean currents and allow us to map them. The UCLA subsurface current mapping testbed will be deployed "on demand" in the coastal region of the Southern California Bight including Santa Monica Bay, San Pedro Channel and near Catalina Island. The proposed subsurface current measurements taken simultaneously from different locations will complement existing observations. Surface currents will be compared and correlated to subsurface currents.
