The Vertical Microstructure Profiler (VMP) is an in situ full ocean-depth profiling system manufactured by Rockland Scientific. It consists of several sensors that collect profile measurements of turbulence, temperature, conductivity, and other ocean parameters. A VMP is deployed from ships and operates autonomously. It can collect profile measurements up to 6000 m in depth. It has a nominal sampling frequency of 512 Hz.
