Abstract:
The patent relates to an environmental profiler and method for use in water to measure the different parameters of the water along a vertical line from 3000 feet to the surface or any other desired depth. The device includes 64 individual gas generators each of which are sufficient to raise the device at a rate of 1.5 ftsec. The device is programmed to vent the excess gas and to be lowered to the bottom after each trip until all gas generators have been activated. The sampling is made during descent and ascent and while at bottom and top, with the sampling information recorded digitally by instrumentation carried by the profiler.
