Article about an application of instrumentation I am helping build

This device
was sitting outside my work area 2 weeks ago.
I am enjoying working on devices which are at the forefront of oceanographic research.

Thank you for the interesting article. Equipment has improved since I did this stuff in the mid 1970s.

One question, are the Lakes big enough for tides? If so what are they like?

Note that I work in Oregon building the instrumentation. I spend some time near lake Michigan in 1970, don't recall any significant tides.

Integral, thanks for sharing that new instrumentation with us. I spent >25 years pinging with low, mid-range, and ultrasonic frequencies in the world’s oceans designing, testing, and operating sonar systems.

The more details we knew about ocean conditions, the better we could perform. No doubt scientific knowledge in many areas will be advanced with these new sensors below the surface of Lake Superior, and, all automatically! Everyone gains when new actual data becomes available. You and your team deserve “kudos” for a job well done.

I am always excited to see new advancements in instrumentation that can aid in our understanding of the world around us. The device mentioned in the article is a great example of this, as it has the potential to greatly enhance oceanographic research.

The fact that it was sitting outside your work area just two weeks ago is a testament to the fast-paced nature of scientific research and development. It is exciting to think about the potential impact this device could have on our understanding of the ocean and its many complex processes.

I am curious to learn more about the specific capabilities and features of this device. Is it designed for a specific type of data collection, such as measuring water temperature or salinity? Or does it have a more broad range of functions?

Regardless, I am sure that this device will be a valuable tool for oceanographers and researchers, and I look forward to seeing the results it produces. Thank you for sharing this exciting update on your work.
