The RBRsolo4 D is a compact, lightweight pressure logger designed for high-precision oceanographic measurements in demanding environments. It combines exceptional accuracy and resolution with extremely low power consumption, enabling multi-year deployments using any standard AA battery chemistry. Engineered for durability in harsh marine conditions, the RBRsolo4 D delivers reliable, long-term performance across a wide range of oceanographic applications.
Optional Configurations
| RBRsolo4 D | pressure; up to 2Hz continuous sampling, depths up to 1000m |

Barometer
The RBRsolo4 D is also available as a barometric instrument. It shares the same form factor and configuration as the rest of the product line. Use the resulting dataset to correct other water-level time series for atmospheric pressure, using Ruskin or RSKtools.
Product Highlight
Watch a short animation showing how the RBR barometer, combined with the new features of Ruskin, makes data processing to remove atmospheric pressure from your dataset a breeze.
