Shallow Profiler in Saltwater Tank
A Shallow Profiler winched science pod and stationary platform, which host 18 instruments (e.g. pH, CO2, temperature, chlorophyll, zooplankton, nutrients, currents) undergoes testing in the School of Oceanography saltwater tank. The platforms will be deployed 600 ft beneath the oceans surface. Since 2015, three of these pods have made >27,000 profiles, providing unprecedented measurements of our dynamic ocean in real-time.
