Abstract
An automated system for periodically sampling water bodies, such as lakes, and delivering the test results to a remote computer using a communication system. In particular, the system has a variable buoyancy profiler with a dynamic buoyancy compensator responding approximately linear to a water pressure created by an external water body so as to actively or passively interact with an external force or pressure thereby moving the profiler to a target depth.
