The Instrument is expected to advance earth science research through the study of both short-term and long-term changes in coastal, terrestrial, and atmospheric ecosystems. Due to its inherent characteristics, the Instrument allows for a whole new spectrum of data collection and analysis, as well as for the optimization of the research being carried out in complex environments.

Faculty of the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science at the University of Miami [http://www.rsmas.miami.edu/], as stated in their commitment letter, will utilize the Instrument for research and education efforts in Marine Physics.
