First Visit to Axial Base Shallow Profiler 2016
The ROV Jason surveys the Shallow Profiler platform located ~ 600 ft beneath the oceans' surface. Eighteen instruments on the platform and profiling science pod have been sending data live to shore for a year, all connected to the Internet. Both science pods have now been replaced during the annual, planned maintenance of this system. Operation of this infrastructure takes place at the University of Washington Operations Center in the School of Oceanography. Credit: UW/OOI-NSF/WHOI; V16.
