PROVOR CTS3 DO / DO I
PROVOR CTS3 DO and DO I are efficient and reliable autonomous profiling floats designed to acquire CTD and Dissolved oxygen profiles: from 2000 m to the surface.
Once at the surface, data are sent via satellite and a new cycle begins.
The PROVOR DO is proposed with transmission by ARGOS or IRIDIUM. ARGOS is one way data collection and positioning by satellites, IRIDIUM associated with GPS is a two ways communication system enabling data collection, the positioning and remote control facilities.
The PROVOR is a cost-effective float with hydraulic
feature enabling a deployment anywhere in the ocean without preballasting: this enables to simplify deployments.
It has been developed in industrial partnership with Ifremer.
- PROVOR CTS3 DO: ARGOS transmission
- PROVOR CTS3 DO I: IRIDIUM and GPS
More than 700 PROVOR have been produced in several versions, including:
- PROVOR CTS3 for ARGO core mission with CTD
- PROVOR CTS4 for BioGeoChemical applications
Main characteristics :
- Sea Bird and Aanderaa sensors proven metrology
- High sampling rate with Iridium up to 2000 pts
- Down to 2000 m depth
- Easy connectivity
- Self-ballasted float
