PSWIMS, a Profiling Instrument System for Remote Physical and Chemical Measurements in Shallow Water

摘要

PSWIMS (Profiling Shallow Water Instrument Mounting System) is a relatively simple instrumentation system that has been developed to remotely collect vertical profiles of physical and chemical parameters in shallow water that is subject to significant changes in depth. The system is designed for observations that can not practically be made with moored sensors or with hand held sensors. Results are presented from two field deployments that demonstrate the utility of PSWIMS for measuring horizontal flux and for monitoring water quality parameters in shallow water.
