Figure 7: Example of graph of PROV-CARBON's descent speed versus depth in an actual deployment
To reduce the probability of contact with water craft, PROV-CARBON's target speed during the initial stages
of descent is high (see Figure 7: Example of graph of PROV-CARBON's descent speed versus depth in an
actual deployment) above. This minimizes the time during which the float is at risk of damage.
To slow the float's descent, its controller is programmed with a series of depths at which the descent speed
is halved until it reaches the target depth.
