Pontoon Vertical Profiling System
Floating automated profiler that moves an EXO sonde through the water column, 0-50 m standard, for lakes, reservoirs, estuaries, bays and coastal waters.
Description
The Pontoon Vertical Profiling System is a floating, fully automated profiler that moves a YSI EXO or 6-Series sonde (with depth) up and down the water column at programmed intervals to collect high-resolution data. Data is sent by telemetry or direct connection. It is a complete solution from YSI's Integrated Systems & Services group.
