• Мinimizing the risk of loss of equipment by using conventional deployment approach for a mooring system
• Оptimizing cost by using a single set of sensors instead of multiple sensors at fixed depths as in traditional mooring
• Аdvancing adaptive sampling by allowing a user to install modern self-contained probes

Built with flexibility in mind

A user who needs a more versatile observational system has the option to swap out third-party probes on the profiler.

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.

Designed specifically to enable the deployment by a diver

Designed specifically to enable the deployment by a diver to achieve the goal of reduced maintenance cost. The profiler can be mounted on a pre-deployed mooring line by a dive team and then started by magnetic key in the water. Similarly, the profiler can be retrieved by a dive team, provided its minimum depth is accessible. These features make deployment easier and reduce mooring maintenance costs.

Ideal for long-term monitoring of the marine environment

The watchguard of the Red Sea deep

Ideal for long-term monitoring of the marine environment and is especially well-suited for climate change studies. The extended deployment capabilities of the profiler make it an ideal platform for obtaining in situ profile data during adverse conditions (for instance high winds and rough seas) that would normally preclude shipboard operations. The profiler can be deployed before a stormy season and recovered afterwards.
