McLane Releases Wave-Actuated Profiling Crawler for 500 m Depths
McLane Research Labs has released the Prawler (PRofiling crAWLER), a low-cost, wave-actuated vehicle that moves along the mooring wire, collecting data from the surface to 500 m of the water column. Data can include conductivity, temperature, depth (CTD), optical backscatter and dissolved oxygen. Wave motion and special ratcheting clamps move the vehicle up the wire. The Prawler free-falls to the

A three-year project led by the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa will apply a $1.2 million Keck Foundation award to build a hadal water column profiler. The hadal zone is a system of trenches that make up the deepest part of the ocean, some down to 11,000 m deep. The hadal zone covers an area larger than the size of
