Contact Sea-Bird for configuration
details
Argo floats are neutrally buoyant at depth, where they are carried by currents
until periodically increasing their displacement and slowing rising to the
surface. The SBE 41/41CP CTD Module
obtains the latest CTD profile each time the Argo float surfaces. At the
surface, the float transmits in-situ measurements and drift track
data to a satellite system.
Also available is a
Navis profiling float,
Navis profiling float with
Biogeochemical sensors, and
Navis profiling float with
Integrated Biogeochemical sensors.

configuration details
The generic Glider Payload CTD measures conductivity, temperature, and pressure, and
optionally, dissolved oxygen (with the modular SBE 43F DO sensor). It is a
modular, low-power profiling instrument for autonomous gliders with the high
accuracy necessary for research, inter-comparison with moored observatory
sensors, updating circulation models, and leveraging data collection
opportunities from operational vehicle missions. The pressure-proof module
allows glider users to exchange CTDs (and DO sensors) in the field without
opening the glider pressure hull.
A defining mechanical design
criteria of the Slocum Glider Payload CTD was to provide a retrofit/replacement
for CTDs on the global fleet of existing Slocum gliders. Both designs share many
features, but there are also differences in packaging, sampling abilities and
power consumption, and in their installation as described in their individual
data sheets.
