Axys Technologies
Design, manufacturing,
and maintenance of data acquisition, processing, and telemetry systems.
Bluefin
Bluefin designs and manufactures AUVs, specializing in flexible
vehicles that can carry a wide range of sensors such as CTDs, Multi-Beam and
Side-Scan Sonars, and Sub-Bottom Profilers. Bluefin AUVs are small, robust, and
equipped with high quality sensors, providing reliability, ease-of-operation,
and high quality data.
Chelsea
Instruments
Aquatracka III fluorometers, Alphatracka
transmissometers.
Coastal Environmental Systems
Controllers, data loggers,
and telemetry packages that take data from a variety of sensors and then process,
store, and/or telemeter the data. Many telemetry methods are available (Radio, Cell phone, Telephone, Satellite, etc.). Coastal has 18 years of
experience in integrating a wide variety of sensors (including Sea-Bird). The controller/loggers can process anything from simple analog inputs to
multi-drop addressable serial sensor arrays. Processing can range from simple averages to full FFTs.
Hydroid
Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs).
Hydro-Optics, Biology, &
Instrumentation Laboratories (HOBI Labs)
Optical instruments designed for the harsh marine environment.
The product line includes
multi-wavelength optical backscattering sensors, combined backscattering /
transmissometers and absorption meters, spectral radiometers, and more.
McLane Research Laboratories
Moored Profiler (MMP) autonomously profiles the water column
along a fixed tether while carrying a selection of oceanographic sensors.
METOCEAN Data
Systems Limited
Buoy systems.
OceanScience
OceanScience provides a variety of deployment solutions for
oceanographic instruments, including surface buoys, subsurface buoys, trawl-resistant seafloor landers,
and high-quality syntactic foam. OceanScience focuses on using modern materials and processes to provide rugged,
corrosion-resistant, reliable instrument platforms.
ODIM Brooke
Ocean Ltd.
SeaHorse is a moored wave-powered profiler that uses wave
action to power a profiling platform down a taut mooring wire. The SeaHorse can
be configured to collect ocean data profiles using an SBE 19 that is equipped to
measure CTD, fluorometry, turbidity, and optical characteristics. The SeaHorse
has been deployed to monitor physical and biological oceanographic parameters
including algae production and environmental dumping. The system was developed
jointly with the Bedford Institute of Oceanography, Ocean Physics Division of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada.
Pro-Oceanus
Systems, Inc.
Pro-Oceanus Systems manufactures dissolved gas sensors, including O2, N2, and
dissolved air (known as gas tension). Sensors can provide measurements for up to
a year, with a maximum operating depth of 500 m. Gas Tension Device sensors
(GTDs) can be accommodated on a Sea-Bird moored CTD (SBE
16plus
V2 or 16plus-IM V2).
RESON
RESON manufactures multibeam echosounders and forward-looking sonars, acoustic transducers and reference hydrophones, acoustic calibration systems, and homogenizers.
Satlantic
Satlantic provides a complete
range of active and passive optical radiometers, as well as instrumentation for
real-time in-situ nitrate measurements and advanced systems for variable
chlorophyll fluorescence analysis. Satlantic also provides instrument
integration, and water quality monitoring systems that enable real-time
operational decision making.
Sequoia
Scientific
Sequoia Scientific manufactures optical instruments for use in sediment
transport and optical oceanography research -- LISST-25 Total Suspended Sediment Sensor, LISST-100 Particle Size Analyzer, HydroLight Version 4.0 Radiative Transfer Model.
Sontek
Acoustic Doppler
water velocity sensors for the ocean, rivers, lakes, and the laboratory. In addition to
profilers suitable for a wide range of applications, Sontek produces instruments for
measurement of directional wave spectra, river discharge, estuarine and nearshore flow,
turbulence, and deep-sea currents.
State
University of New York, Ocean Instrument Laboratory
MSRC Vortex de-bubbler (used by some Sea-Bird
customers with SBE
21 or SBE
45
Thermosalinograph).
Availability Update:
The University had suspended production of the de-bubbler in 2010. In
December 2010, we were informed that they have begun production again.
Teledyne Gavia Ltd.
Small Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs), ideal for research,
deep-water surveying, monitoring, or surveillance.
Teledyne RD
Instruments
Velocity
measurement of water currents and vessel speed. The RDI Doppler Volume Sampler (DVS)
is available with Sea-Bird's
Inductive Modem
Module (IMM) and high precision temperature
sensor. RDI ADCPs (Acoustic Doppler
Current Profilers) are used in oceanography, hydrology, limnology, circulation
modeling, wave gauging, and open and closed channel discharge measurement.
Precise navigation information for underwater vehicles is provided by the RDI
DVL (Doppler Velocity Log).
Teledyne Benthos
(formerly Webb Research)
Argo floats,
utilizing Sea-Bird's SBE 41 and 41CP Argo CTDs.
WET
Labs, Inc.
(acquired by Sea-Bird in February 2010)
- WET Labs manufactures fluorometers,
transmissometers, scattering sensors, and spectrophotometers.
- WET Labs also manufactures the Water Quality Monitor (WQM), co-developed
with Sea-Bird, combining CTD, Dissolved Oxygen, Chlorophyll, and Turbidity
sensors with an innovative strategy of active and passive anti-fouling measures.
