The McLane Moored Profiler: A Platform for Physical, Biological, and Chemical Oceanographic Measurements
The McLane Moored Profiler (MMP) is an autonomous, profiling, instrument platform developed as a collaboration between the McLane Research Laboratories, Inc. (MRL) and the Advanced Engineering Laboratory and the Department of Physical Oceanography of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI). Our goal is to make moored profiler technology available to, operable by, and useful to a broad cross-section of the oceanographic community. The platform and software are designed for ease of access, operation, and maintenance. The baseline instrument suite includes both a CTD and an acoustic current meter. Provisions have been made in the design for a variety of additional instruments, including commonly available bio-optical and chemical sensors. The engineering development is nearing completion with laboratory, dockside, and open ocean tests currently underway. This paper documents the design of the platform and presents the results of performance trials undertaken to date. Open ocean data obtained by WHOI prototype profilers are included to demonstrate some of the capabilities of these instrumented platforms. [via]
