PROVOR CTS5 -with camera: fully BGC-ARGO compliant for R&D and demanding application
The PROVOR CTS5 -with camera- design is based on the ARGO PROVOR CTS4 float to integrate additional sensors tothe standard CTD. These are optical sensors from Satlantics, WetLabs or Aanderaa.
Qualified ARGO technology:
Additional sensors to the standard CTD
Fully BGC compliant
6 core BGC ARGO variables and extras: oxygen, nitrate, pH, chlorophyll a, suspended particles, downwelling irradiance
Underwater Vision Profiler Sensor (UVP6-LP)
Up to 0.5 dbar resolution (average mode) and 0.1 dbar resolution (raw data mode)
High sampling resolution (down to 1 sec)
Improved Iridium RUDICS telemetry
Down to 2000 meters depth
Graphical user interface to set mission and acquisition parameters
Self-ballasted float with increased buoyancy
