The University of Washington Applied Physics Lab successfully deployed the prototype HOT (Hawaiian Ocean Time Series) profiler at the ALOHA Observatory, north of Oahu, in July 2012. This new prototype, developed by McLane and the HOT APL/UW team, is a modified extended MMP (McLane Moored Proflier) which utilizes an inductive power system (IPS) to charge

The Ocean Observatories Initiatives (OOI) announces that it successfully completed a sea equipment test, which included a McLane Moored Profiler (MMP). Click here for video from the recovery cruise.  The OOI Team in September deployed three test moorings at two sites on the continental slope south of Cape Cod. That shelf break is at 39°

In this video, the Third Institute of Oceanography (Xiamen, China) deployed a McLane Moored Profiler (MMP) in Sept 2010 for 80 days off the coast of China. After a successful deployment and recovery, the China team collected 3000 profiles, with the instrument traveling in the range of 800 thousand meters. Also in China, scientists from the

A team from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and Raytheon Company came to McLane for profiler training in June. The one day training consisted of bench testing, programming a deployment, and recovering the McLane Moored Profiler from the 15 meter test tank in McLane’s lab. If you own a McLane profiler or sampler or are thinking

Researchers from the University of Hawaii at Manoa ventured 6,000 miles to McLane for pre-deployment profiler training in June. Doug Luther, a physical oceanographer, will use extended McLane Moored Profilers to research the structure of the tides and eddies around the island of Oahu, Hawaii. The extended MMP was chosen for this project for its

Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) scientist Ruth Curry is featured in two televised PBS NOW investigations discussing the impact of global climate change on the oceans. The documentary “Sea Change” features Curry explaining an MMP and shows WHOI scientists deploying an MMP off the RV Oceanus. Some video of McLane flotation is also included. The video

The Science Museum, London exhibition – Climate Change: The Burning Issue – opened on March 19, 2002. Featured in the exhibit hall is a McLane Moored Profiler, on loan from the McLane Research Laboratories, Inc. The profiler includes a full instrument suite, a CTD and an acoustic current meter, provided courtesy of Falmouth Scientific, Inc. Elsewhere in the exhibit visitors will find the
