CHAM

Chameleon. This is a vertically-profiling, freely-falling tethered instrument that is easily deployed from ship. In this photo, a ring protects the sensors at the bottom - we are preparing to crash it into the bottom on purpose. By getting measurements to the seafloor, we gain an appreciation for the frequent thinness of bottom boundary layers (10s of cm at times). Brushes at the trailing edge break up coherent eddies and help to make Chameleon hydrodynamically quiet, essential for low-noise turbulence measurements. (en)
