RAFOS float A RAFOS float〔(The RAFOS system ), T. Rossby D. Dorson J. Fontaine, Journal of atmospheric and oceanic technology, v.3 p.672-680〕 is a submersible device used to map ocean currents in a Lagrangian way. It is a self-sustaining device using the SOFAR (SOund Fixing And Ranging) channel as a wave-guide for sound, allowing it to determine its position as a function of time. It derives from SOFAR floats,〔(), The evolution of the Swallow float to today's RAFOS float〕 which emitted from the ocean to moored receivers, but instead receives the signals from the moored devices, thus allowing a much lower fabrication cost. That is why it is called RAFOS: it is SOFAR spelled backwards. ==Introduction==
