CTDs for Argo floats
Power efficient, high accuracy, designed for Argo
We developed the RBRargo³ C.T.D for profiling floats to support the international Argo program, with salinity-to-the-surface as the default behaviour and a conductivity cell unaffected by surfactants or drying.
Available on Argo floats from leading manufacturers
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.
