Abstract:

The paper presents a solution for rapid analysis of marine water density vertical profiles in the oceanic column using a proposed autonomous marine profiler probe model and an innovative method of dynamic measurement of marine water density vertical profiles. The design of the probe’s hull and onboard dynamic measurement system are detailed, along with computer simulation results. These include diagrams of the main functional blocks of the profiler probe and a graph showing the distribution of marine water density as a function of hydrostatic pressure. The paper also presents indicators of absolute and relative error in the determination of marine water density ordinates calculated during simulations of standard vertical profile measurements with the proposed method. The obtained marine water density profile enables prompt assessments of the main characteristics of the oceanic column’s vertical stratification as functions of hydrostatic pressure.

Keywords: dynamic measurements, marine autonomous probe, sea water density, hydrostatic pressure, computer modeling.
