\section{User/High-Level Requirements}
The MOOS system functional requirements documents makes several references to vertical profiling capabilities in the upper water column.  The functional requirements presented here include those as well as other requirements that ...
\begin{itemize}
\item The profiler shall be deployable in conjuction with at least a subset of the mooring configurations that comprise MOOS.
\item The profiler shall operate between a depth of 500 meters and the surface.
\item The profiler shall be capable of performing 6 full profiles per day.
\item The profiler speed shall be 30 cm/s.
\item The profiler shall be capable of near real-time communications with the shore.
\item The profiler shall support a 20 kg instrument payload.
\end{itemize}

\section{Derived Requirements}
\begin{itemize}
\item The profiler shall be able to participate in the MOOS power and data architecture, providing the communications link outlined above in the high-level requirements section.
\end{itemize}


\section{Environmental Requirements}
\begin{itemize}
\item The profiler shall be operational whenever the sea conditions are within the ``90\% design condition'' for the MOOS mooring system. For the Outer Monterrey Bay site, these are:
\begin{enumerate}
 \item Surface Currents < 50 cm/s
 \item Significant wave height = 5 meters
 \item Average wind speed < 20 kts
\end{enumerate}
\end{itemize}

\section{Operational/Maintenance Requirements}
\begin{itemize}
\item The profiler shall be capable of unattended service for one year. (2,190 profiles)
\end{itemize}
