Messor是一种简单但高效的拖曳车，可以通过各种传感器获取物理环境、浮游植物、浮游动物、浮游生物和鱼类的高分辨率数据，允许在时间和空间上以几乎相同的分辨率获取多个数据。已经进行了大量的牵引试验，以获得对车辆行为和工作潜力的全面了解，涉及牵引速度和操作深度。在正常的野外作业中，该车辆已被证明是研究锋面区域详细过程以及流域尺度监测工作的宝贵工具。本文以2009年在挪威海进行的大规模监测研究为例，展示了该综合多仪器平台的科学潜力。
Messor, a simple but efficient towed vehicle have been built to obtain high-resolution data on the physical environment, phytoplankton, zooplankton, nekton and fish through a variety of sensors allowing multiple data acquisition with a near identical resolution in time and space. A multitude of towing tests have been undertaken to obtain a thorough understanding of vehicle behavior and work potential with respect to towing speed and operating depth. During normal field operation the vehicle has proven a valuable tool for studying detailed processes in frontal regions as well as for basin scale monitoring work. A selected exemplary data set from a large scale monitoring study in the Norwegian Sea in 2009 is presented to visualize the scientific potential of this integrated multiple instrumentation platform.
