Abstract :
This paper describes a towed undulating CTD system recently acquired by the University of Delaware´s shipboard technical support group. The vehicle is a GMI Scanfish MKII and the instrumentation package is Seabird Electronics 911+ system. The configuration of the system, method of deployment, and considerations for shallow water work are discussed
