[sci.bio] Oceanographic measurements

troach@netcom.COM (Tom Roach) (06/09/91)

I picked up some traffic from a Soviet research vessel which transmitted
measurements such as temperature, salinity, speed of sound, etc. from 
depths between the surface and 5,000 meters.  Just how does one makes 
such measurements and how are they sent to the surface from such a great
depth?
