Cyclesonde - Automatic Profiler Observations to Support Acoustic Objectives

Abstract

We are planning to develop an all-electric autonomous vertical profiler for long-term surveillance. The first goal is to develop a all-electric vertical profiler to support acoustic objectives in acoustic observatory settings with power delivered from shore via submarine cable and signals communicated in real time by fiber optic cable. This profiler will remain roller coupled to reduce wave-induced sensor noise and be self-ballasting to ease installation and functional reliably in stronger currents.
