Abstract
Our simple tests and early working experience with the CastAway have shown it to be a versatile tool, useful for quickly and easily obtaining temperature and conductivity profiles in shallow waters. It also seems to meet and may even exceed its stated specifications. We look forward to conducting further tests to perform a more in depth evaluation of the systems technical qualifications.
