Intellectual Merit: This RAPID proposal seeks funding to complete the work originally proposed. Due to ship problems, the first of 2 cruises scheduled as part of this project could not be completed. The RAPID funding is required to allow the PI's to be ready to deploy the HOT profiler as soon as a cruise can be fit into the ship schedule. Broader Impacts:The HOT profiler project seeks to substantially improve our ability to observe the ocean on long time scales at locations not serviced by cabled observatories by supplying power and bandwidth to profiling vehicles. If successful, the technology will greatly benefit both of these groups. Additionally, the scientific knowledge gained will likely improve our understanding of the seasonal cycles of internal waves, which are of great import to the improvement of circulation models.

知识分子的优点：这项快速提议寻求资金来完成最初提出的工作。由于船舶问题，无法完成计划作为该项目一部分的2次巡航中的第一个。需要快速的资金，以便允许PI一旦适应船只时间表，就可以立即准备部署热门分析器。更广泛的影响：热门化学探险项目旨在实质上提高我们在未由电缆观察者服务的位置长期观察海洋的能力，通过向分析车辆提供电力和带宽来维修。如果成功，这项技术将极大地使这两个群体受益。此外，获得的科学知识可能会提高我们对内波的季节性周期的理解，这对于改善循环模型的进口非常重要。
