The oceanographic programme carried out during the LOMROG III cruise included the collection of
water column profiles with conductivity, temperature, and depth (CTD) data.
How do
the water column profile and dense salty shelf water (HSSW) characteristics evolve on time scales ranging from sub-synoptic to the annual cycle?
Not exact matches
The vertical temperature
profile may also play a role, as warmer
water is lighter, and thus the stability of the
water column depends on how fast the temperature drops with depth — more stable
water column is less prone to mixing.

profiling gliders with extended endurance providing continuous upper
water column measurements
Recently, substantial progress has been made using satellite observations to obtain total
column water vapor and some low - resolution vertical
profiles from infrared and microwave sensors.
Sensors provide total
column water vapor and some vertical
profile information over large areas.
This mission is accomplished through long - term observations and intensive field programs that measure total
column ozone, ozone vertical
profiles (ozonesondes and umkehrs), ground level ozone, and
water vapor vertical
profiles in the upper troposphere and stratosphere.
