dc.description.abstract | The Seasoar (or Batfish) instrument is a towed platform typically equipped with a CTD. Other
sensors, such as fluorometers or transmissometers, ma
y also be added. The SeaSoar has
hydraulically controlled
wings, which give it the ability to "fly" up and down in the water
column. On a typical deployment, the SeaSoar is towed behind a ship
at speeds of up to 10 knots
using a faired cable
while flying
between two depths,
U
se of a faired cable reduces the drag on
the cable and allows the SeaSoar to fly sawtooth profiles with a maximum depth of ~500m.
Without fairing or with damaged fairing the depth capabilities of the SeaSoar are dramatically
reduced. W
ith no fairing at all the SeaSoar would struggle to attain 100m depth | en_US |
