Rockland Scientific's deep ocean profiler VMP-5500 was recently featured on Japanese Radio, with supporting picture documentation posted at http://www.1242.com/giza/onair_080329.html . The Japanese national radio station KBS Todai reported on a successful research cruise conducted by Professor Toshi Hibiya of Tokyo University, who operates two VMP-5500 profilers. Professor Hibiya uses the VMP-5500 turbulence profiler to study deep ocean mixing processes resulting from the interaction of tidal currents with ocean topography.
