Shallow Water Integrated Mapping System (SWIMS)
Developed by Mike Gregg, this towed system measures ocean properties in a sawtooth pattern behind a ship. It carries a large suite of sensors including up and down-looking ADCP's, redundant temperature and salinity sensors, and a microstructure package. An altimeter allows us to profile close to the bottom without running into it.

McLane Moored Profiler
Matthew Alford at a recovery of a McLane Moored Profiler. Developed by John Toole (WHOI) and commercialized by McLane Research Labs, this instrument makes repeated vertical traverses
of the water column along a
conventional subsurface mooring wire while carrying a CTD and an
acoustic current meter. We have recently been pushing its limits by sampling extremely fast to study internal waves - and have been modifying the profilers to crawl faster and carry more instrumentation such as nitrate and the Nortex Aquadopp velocity profiler.
