The PRofiling crAWLER (PRAWLER) is a wave-powered profiling instrument developed by the NOAA Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL). It moves along the mooring wire due to the wave motions from a surface buoy to collect profile measurements of conductivity, temperature, and pressure. PRAWLER collects profiles from the ocean surface up to 500 m of the water column. It can be deployed in water depths up to 6000 m and has a fall rate of 30 centimeters per second.
