DEEP ARVOR DO

The profiling float DEEP ARVOR provides profiles of salinity, temperature, pressure and dissolved oxygen up to 4000 meters deep. The data is transmitted by the IRIDIUM satellite system and the float is positioned by GPS.

Main characteristics:

 Designed for the core Argo mission

 Light and easy to deploy (less than 26kg)

 “Sea-Bird” proven CTD metrology

 Aanderaa dissolved oxygen optode

 150 “CTD” cycles at 4000 meters

 Alternative depths enable more profiles

 Easy connectivity using RF Bluetooth
