Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	In various embodiments a variable buoyancy profiling float (2) is disclosed. The variable buoyancy profiling float may comprise a spherical glass housing (4) comprising a first hemisphere and a second hemisphere. The first and second hemispheres may be coupled by a partial vacuum within the spherical glass housing. A buoyancy system (16, 18, 22) may be located at least partially within the spherical glass housing. The buoyancy system may be configured to provide variable buoyancy control to the variable buoyancy profiling float. A sensor bundle (14, 15) may be mounted to the spherical glass housing and may be configured to measure at least one environmental parameter.
