Abstract

Understanding Ocean variability, particularly in the productive upper water column, requires understanding ocean processes. Numerous physical and bio-geochemical processes in the water column must be studied at different spatial and temporal scales that still need to be fully understood. Current fixed-point observatory structures are one of the principal methods to collect data from the Oceans due to their endurance and capability to observe oceanic phenomena at a high rate. In this work, we present a new conceptual approach and design for an oceanic profiler which intends to overcome the most common logistical hurdle when deploying those kinds of platforms at sea.
