Abstract
The present invention relates to a system for studying, identifying and cacterizing thermal gradients within a volume of water. The system includes a frame formed from a plurality of PVC tubing sections and connectors. The connectors are used to house at least one pair of acoustic transducers, which transducers are used to collect data for studying, identifying and characterizing the thermal gradients within the volume of water. A number of different frame configurations may be used to perform a number of different studies.
