The NORDA (Naval Ocean Research and Development Activity) Vertical Profiler,

Abstract

A variable buoyancy vehicle capable of profiling from the air/sea interface to depths of 1000 meters has been built and tested. The integral data acquisition package utilized in performance evaluation of the profiler can be easily interfaced to a variety of ocean parameter sensors. Because of its ability to penetrate the air/sea interface, this profiler can be used as a submersible telemetry link between subsurface and bottom mounted sensors and ship or land based data processing facilities.
