Development of a profiler system

Abstract

Abstract

As a result of GINOP-2.1.7-15-2016-01972 R+D project a unique water body profiler system was developed. Its tested, marketable prototype was built. The profiler is used to lower various water measurement equipment, including sensors, samplers and more to designated depths. The unit enables the user to set an order of magnitude more accurate depth than former profilers offered. This depth is then held accurately by the device. The profiler features wave compensation to make the mixing of layers as minimal as possible. Advanced solar power management and payload management enables long unattended operating periods.
