A controlled-depth cable-towed depressor designed to house a conductivity, temperature, depth (CTD) instrument system is described. Design considerations are discussed, and the results of basin and preliminary at-sea evaluations conducted to ensure hydrodynamic performance are presented. The evaluations indicate that the basic design objectives were satisfied. Detailed hydrodynamic performance predictions as well as operation and maintenance guidelines are included in Appendices.
