New Micro Field Buoy from OSIL

U.K.-based oceanographic systems company

Ocean Scienti? c International Ltd. (OSIL) intro- duced a new, ultra compact buoy platform into its range of fully integrated systems. The Micro Field

Buoy is just 0.3m in diameter, and weighs only 15kg (without instrumentation), meaning it is easy for one person to handle in the ? eld, is suitable for airborne, vessel based or land based deploy- ment, and yet can still transmit data to users in real-time, providing a rapid response to environ- mental changes.

The buoy platform can accommodate a variety of instruments or environmental sensors (including

CTDs, DO sensors, turbidity sensors, chlorophyll sensors, multiparameter sondes and hydrocar- bon sensors) in the rugged protective deployment frame underneath the ? oat. The hard anodized ma- rine grade aluminum hull incorporates buoyancy, telemetry equipment (GSM/GPRS/3G), electron- ics (including data logger) and battery in a fully marinized and compact package. The buoy, once installed, can be left reporting and logging data un- attended for one month before battery recharging and instrument cleaning is required.
