ABSTRACT:
A system for the automated deployment and retrieval of an oceanographic data collecting probe from a vessel in motion. The system involves ejecting the probe line rapidly from a drum such that substantially all of the line is deposited in proximity with the region of descent of the probe to reduce line drag for rapid probe descent. The system is designed for repeated deployment and retrieval of the line allowing unattended operation.
