CTDs for Argo floats
Ultra low power, compact design
To assist with the international Argo program, we developed the RBRargo³ C.T.D for profiling floats. Salinity to the surface is default behaviour: the conductivity cell is unaffected by surfactants and is not damaged by drying out. A full range of additional sensors is available, including optical dissolved oxygen, pH, PAR, fluorometers, and others.
Our RBRargo³ C.T.D has been integrated and tested on most commercial profiling floats.
Available on Argo floats from leading manufacturers
