Marine Optical Buoy (MOBY)
Earth science; Physical oceanography
An instrument deployed off the coast of Lanai, Hawaii in Feb. 1994 to measure visible and near-infrared radiation entering and emanating from the ocean. The variations of the ...
Moored Profiler (MP)
Earth science; Physical oceanography
An instrument designed and built at WHOI to acquire repeated, high vertical resolution, full water column profiles of ocean currents and water properties at a fixed site. It does ...
Long–Term Autonomous Microstructure Profiler (LAMP)
Earth science; Physical oceanography
An instrument designed to autonomously collect microstructure profiles over deployments of several months duration. It consists of an autonomously profiling ALACE float outfitted ...
dual–beam acoustics deployed on a multiple opening/closing net and environmental sensing system (D–BAD MOCNESS)
Earth science; Physical oceanography
An instrument designed to collect acoustic data and net samples simultaneously from the same portion of the water column.
Expendable Current Profiler (XCP)
Earth science; Physical oceanography
An instrument developed at the APL. These use electric field measurements to estimate horizontal velocity relative to an unknown offset. They typically cost 40 times more than an ...
bio-optical profiling system (BOPS)
Earth science; Physical oceanography
An instrument for measuring optical and physical parameters in the water column.
transmissometer
Earth science; Physical oceanography
An instrument for the measurement of the transmission of light of a given wavelength over a known distance in a seawater sample. The wavelengths are usually chosen based on the ...
