Lightweight drone-deployed autonomous ocean profiler for repeated measurements in hazardous areas - Example from glacier fronts in NE Greenland.

Accelerated melting of ice in Polar Regions due to global warming increases freshwater input to coastal waters from marine terminating glaciers. Lack of measurements near the glacier terminus limits our knowledge of the mixing processes between freshwater and the underlying ocean. We present a low-cost (< € 3200) and lightweight (2.
