• Relatively extensive sensor suites will generate profiles when the vehicle cycles to depth and back. Typical sensors to be carried include CTD, multiple wavelength fluorescence, optical back scatter and/or transmission, Laser Doppler Velocimeter or thrust probe for turbulence, Laser Optical Plankton Counter, chemical sensors for oxygen, pH, CO2 and/or nutrients, and an optically sensed and occasionally flushed sediment trap.
