I help in the deployment of approximately 120 profiling floats per year in the global ocean for the purpose of studying the ocean’s role in the climate system. The floats are fabricated at UW and deployed from a variety of platforms, by UW personnel, including research vessels, commercial ships, container vessels, and aircraft. Each float returns in situ temperature and salinity data at regular intervals via satellite, and the data are used in quantitative analyses of climate change.
