Rockland Scientific Component
FloatRider
Low-power turbulence sensor package for profiling floats, measuring microstructure in the upper 2 000 m with band-averaged spectra for telemetry.
Description
The FloatRider integrates onto profiling floats to provide persistent, autonomous micro-scale turbulence measurements in the upper 2 000 m of the ocean. In-situ data processing delivers band-averaged spectra suitable for low-bandwidth telemetry.
Key features
- Two micro-temperature probes (shear probes available on request)
- In-situ data processing with band-averaged spectra
- Power consumption 230 mW
- Sample rate 256 Hz (optional rate up to 512 Hz)
- Depth rating 2 000 m
Applications
Studies of ocean mixing, ocean-atmosphere interaction and fluxes of heat, oxygen and nutrients.
