Profiling Buoy: meteorological parameters monitoring

The aim of the profiling float is to measure the meteorological parameters of the air and the physico-chemical parameters of the sea. One buoy was made to be deployed by the Mediterranean Institute of Oceanography in Marseille.

The buoy is equipped with:

 Automaton

 Air sensors: weather station, GPS

 Battery and solar panels

 Profiling float: CTD, Do, Fluo

 GPRS modem with antenna

 Positioning light
