Overview
Neutrally buoyant floats are designed to operate in the upper ocean mixed layer because they can maintain neutral buoyancy, allowing them to drift at a specific depth. They typically have conductivity, temperature, and depth (CTD) sensors to provide temperature and salinity profiles. Some neutrally buoyant floats, such as the Argo floats, are also used to collect velocity measurements.
