Articles and publications about Aqualog profiler
The profiler is equipped with conventional oceanographic probes and makes repeated round trips up and down a taut mooring wire between the subsurface flotation and the anchor while maintaining a stable orientation with respect to the current direction.

The GPRS buoy serves
Read more...
The GPRS buoy serves for the data and command exchange between the mooring and a user via Internet. Also with the Aqulog profiler can be used the radio buoy which transmits the observational data and telemetry information from the mooring to the coastal station. In return, it receives commands from the coastal station. -
The Aqualog Profiler with a hydroacoustic Benthos
Read more...
The Aqualog Profiler can accommodate a hydroacoustic Benthos ATM modem to transmit the data and the telemetric information. Data is transferred real-time to the subsurface flotation by using inductive modems. Then the tether transmits the information from the subsurface flotation to the surface buoy. -
The proprietary Aqualog software

The proprietary Aqualog software allows the user to establish an automatic operation algorithm (start time and interval of profiles, working depths, sampling frequency, etc.) in line with the modern adaptive sampling approach to ocean observations.

The Oceanography Center, University of Cyprus in cooperation with the Experimental Design Office of the Oceanologic Institute of the Science Academy in Russia and the Institute of Marine Research of the Eastern Mediterranean, have designed an experiment where the autonomous profiler combined with a CTD device and special sensors, will be able to provide sea currents, dissolved oxygen and other biochemical element measurements.

The Aqualog system is designed for multidisciplinary oceanological studies and environmental monitoring on the sea shelves and continental slopes. An autonomous carrier (marine elevator) for different oceanic measuring equipment was developed for the ?rst time in the practice of Russian oceanography. It is a carrier, for example, for an acoustic Doppler current meter, a CTD-pro?ler, a sensor of dissolved oxygen, a ?uorometer, a turbidity meter, etc.

This approach allows the user to optimize ocean measurements over a large depth range. A single set of sensors is used, instead of several sets of sensors at fixed depths, which greatly reduces both the cost of a survey and the time spent on instrument maintenance and calibration. Such a system can collect regular profiles over a large depth range (e.g. 500 m) at high temporal and vertical resolutions at fixed geographical location over continental slopes or in the open ocean during a season or longer.
