VPS Water Column Studies

The Vertical Profiler System (VPS) aims to study the variability in physical and chemical properties of the water column at the continental shelf break. Instruments installed on the VPS generate water column profiles of salinity, temperature, dissolved gases, nutrients, dissolved organic matter, chlorophyll, and currents (NEPTUNE Canada: An Invitation to Science, 2012).
