RBRcentauro³ C.T.D
Deep-water, pump-free multi-channel CTD for gliders and AUVs rated to 2000dbar, with silent operation for passive acoustics and turbulence work.
Description
The RBRcentauro³ is a multi-channel instrument for gliders and AUVs working in deep water. It derives salinity, density and sound velocity.
Key features
- Transverse, CFD-optimised, low aspect ratio conductivity cell that is self-flushing and needs no pump
- Silent operation allows passive acoustic listening and turbulence measurements
- Power consumption 90% lower than traditional pumped CTDs
- Unaffected by surface contaminants or freezing conditions
- Sampling up to 2Hz; conductivity accurate to within 10cm of the air-ocean interface
Applications
Deep-diving gliders and AUVs carrying CTD and acoustic or turbulence payloads.
