Profiling Moorings Evaluation

Profiling Moorings Evaluation will trial the deployment of two different commercially available profiling mooring platforms (Prawler and Wirewalker). The project aims to determine the operational needs of these profiling systems and assess increases in sampling efficiencies and spatial resolution of data through the water column.

During this assessment phase, the two profiling mooring systems will be co-located in a range of ocean environments to ensure reliability and longevity over long deployment period
