Abstract
A mooring line for an oceanographic buoy system includes four sections. The first section is a protected cable that is connectable to the buoy. The second section is an energy absorbing cable. The third section is a weighted cable. The fourth section is a buoyant cable that is connectable to the anchor. The four sections are connected in series by smooth transitional connections. When the mooring line is deployed, it has an inverse catenary lay.
