The PI requests funding to develop and test a new kind of "float" called the ?Bottom Drifter?. It is like an Argo-like profiling float but with a small ADCP that can operate in bottom track mode. With the float close to the bottom the PI?s can record velocity and thus track it without an acoustic network. . The Bottom Drifter is expected to be of use for boundary currents, topographically enhanced flow, deep mid-ocean ridge circulation, and circulation in coastal regions. In the near-shore environment applications to water quality studies in lakes and estuaries is possible. Broader ImpactsThe Bottom Drifter will provide a new view of bottom-intensified processes thought to be important for a variety of ocean problems. It will bring together scientists in several disciplines to match sensors to the type of application desired. Graduate students from three disciplines (biology, chemistry, and physical oceanography) will be involved in testing and using the instruments proposed here.

PI要求资助开发和测试一种新的“浮动”，称为？底层流浪者？它就像一个类似Argo的剖面浮标，但带有一个小型ADCP，可以在底部跟踪模式下工作。在浮动接近底部的PI？S可以记录速度，从而无需声学网络就可以跟踪速度。. Bottom Drifter预计将用于边界流、地形增强流、深海中脊环流和沿海地区环流。在近岸环境中，可应用于湖泊和河口的水质研究。更广泛的影响海底漂流者将提供一个新的观点底部强化过程被认为是重要的各种海洋问题。它将汇集多个学科的科学家，使传感器与所需的应用类型相匹配。来自三个学科（生物学，化学和物理海洋学）的研究生将参与测试和使用这里提出的仪器。
