NKE Instrumentation is involved in the international ARGO program in order to supply profiling floats measuring temperature and salinity. Therefore one of the company’s key activities is the development of these floats in order to support the scientific community, notably in partnership with IFREMER. The so-called “standard” profiling floats are the ARVOR and PROVOR ranges, which communicate by ARGOS or Iridium transmission the CTD data collected autonomously during acquisition periods. These profiling floats can also be fitted with other sensors including a dissolved oxygen sensor.
ARVOR I: TS, 2000m, Iridium
Description - ARVOR I provides salinity, temperature and pressure profiles with position information thanks to an integrated GPS receiver. Data are transmitted via Iridium satellites network.
