ARVOR L

ARVOR L provides salinity, temperature and pressure profiles up to 2000 meters depth. Data and positioning are achieved  ARGOS  satellites.  Mission with two depth values alternated and grounding avoidance function are settable by user before mission. With self-ballast and very light design, ARVOR L can be deployed by one person. It capitalises on both the know-how of Ifremer in floats activities and designing qualified  subassemblies and of nke on industrial product development.

PROVOR CTS 3

PROVOR CTS3 is a reliable, cost-effective float with self-ballast that collects typically 112 data triplets (salinity, temperature and pressure) during its drifting and ascending phases. Once at the surface, these data are sent via the ARGOS system. The PROVOR CTS3 is designed to achive up to 250 cycles. More than 700 units have been produced since 1998. PROVOR CTS3 can launched from any vessel at slow speed using only a rope and at high speed (20 knots checked) by using release kit and launching crate. The PROVOR  has been developed in industrial partnership with Ifremer.

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

PROVOR SPI

PROVOR SPI is designed to operate under ice. It slides along a tighted cable hanged under an Ice Tether Platform (ITP). The base of the PROVOR SPI is the PROVOR CTS3 designed for the ARGO project. The firmware has been upgraded to optimize the diving mission. The ITP is an amphibious buoy which can operate as well on the ice than as floating offshore. The communication with buoy is achieved by means of an inductive link, communication with the buoy uses the bidirectional iridium communication system. The PROVOR SPI is divided in several easily transportable elements to enable transport by small aircrafts until deployment area.

PAOLA

PAOLA is useful for naval forces in order to perform remote subsurface surveys in an operational area.  Thanks to the aero expendable capacity and the “NATO A” size, PAOLA can be deployed easily and quickly. PAOLA_PTA is an expendable oceanic profiler designed to acquire temperature profiles in the water column between 500m to surface with a half metric resolution and ambient noise at several depths. Due to its high level of performances, acoustic acquisition chain threshold is “0” sea state.

McLane Moored Profiler – MMP

The McLane Moored Profiler (MMP) is an autonomous time-series instrument that profiles the water column by traveling along a fixed wire carrying an array of sensors. Depending on the sensors that are selected, in situ measurements can include conductivity, temperature, depth, cholorophyll-a and dissolved oxygen data. An optional underwater inductive modem provides real-time communication between the MMP and a surface buoy or seabed node. Profiling depth, time intervals and pressure stops are user-defined, and profiling patterns can span specific seasons or timeframes.
