Autonomous Wave-powered Profiling System

Abstract

ABSTRACT We propose acquisition of an instrumentation system for autonomous measurement of water properties and hydrodynamic forcing in coastal environments. The instrumentation array will be specifically designed to target resolution of vertical and temporal structure associated with internal waves and biological responses in tropical reef environments, in support of ongoing and proposed ONR-funded work. The system features a wave-powered autonomous profiler that has previously been shown to be robust for rapid, high-resolution profiling in coastal waters.
