Autonomous ocean profiling float for long-duration water column monitoring

APEX Standard Profiling Floats provide a mature platform for sustained oceanographic data collection across global deployments. Designed for autonomous vertical profiling, the system supports large-scale observing programs with established reliability in open-ocean conditions. The architecture enables flexible deployment options while maintaining consistency in long-duration sampling missions.

Built by Teledyne Webb Research (TWR), the APEX platform integrates configurable telemetry, adaptive mission control, and in-situ programmability to support evolving research requirements. With a strong operational history in global observing networks, the system is engineered for repeatable performance across diverse marine environments, including ice-adjacent and open-ocean regions.
