Intellectual Merit: This RAPID proposal seeks funding to complete the work originally proposed. Due to ship problems, the first of 2 cruises scheduled as part of this project could not be completed. The RAPID funding is required to allow the PI's to be ready to deploy the HOT profiler as soon as a cruise can be fit into the ship schedule. Broader Impacts:The HOT profiler project seeks to substantially improve our ability to observe the ocean on long time scales at locations not serviced by cabled observatories by supplying power and bandwidth to profiling vehicles. If successful, the technology will greatly benefit both of these groups. Additionally, the scientific knowledge gained will likely improve our understanding of the seasonal cycles of internal waves, which are of great import to the improvement of circulation models.

知识价值：本快速方案的提案寻求资金，以完成最初提议的工作。由于船舶问题，作为该项目一部分的两次巡航中的第一次无法完成。RAPID的资金需要允许PI的准备部署HOT剖面仪尽快巡航可以适应船舶时间表。更广泛的影响：HOT剖面仪项目旨在通过为剖面仪提供电力和带宽，大幅提高我们在没有有线观测站的地点长期观测海洋的能力。如果成功，这项技术将使这两个群体受益匪浅。此外，所获得的科学知识可能会提高我们对内波季节性周期的理解，这对改进环流模型非常重要。
