The CTD frame has our CTD in the middle with temperature, salinity, chlorophyl, and oxygen sensors attached to it. The current profiler, or ADCP, is the yellow thing to the right. It has two acoustic heads, one looking down and one looking up. This allows it to measure currents with sound waves as it is lowered through the water column.
