Arctic Rays Debuts New Products

Arctic Rays released four new products in its suite of subsea technologies. Now available are: • YellowFin, the machine vision payload for turnkey sea? oor imaging, a fully integrated, turnkey imaging pay- load for small AUVs. • ViperFish: A dual-channel, compact torch light for low- power or scienti? c, unobtrusive monitoring applications, rated to 1,000 or 6,000m. • Barnacle: A pressure relief valve for use down to 6,000m, and interchangeable with other popular PRVs. • PRV tool, a compact tool for pulling a vacuum on or back? lling a housing: To complement Barnacle, the new

PRV vacuum tool was built to be ultra-compact and ? t easily between multiple connectors.

BORAbox helps collect Ocean Data

The BORA Blue Ocean Research Alliance, which in- cludes National Oceanography Center (NOC) and Sub- sea7, launched the ? rst in a series of remotely operated ve- hicles (ROVs) that contain the new BORAbox. The sensors are currently collecting data on Subsea7 vessels in the South

Atlantic, Brazil, and further launches are planned in Norway and further a? eld including Australia.

BORAbox, an integrated suite of sensors developed by

NOC scientists, will measure an important aspect relating to the health of the ocean by establishing the total alkalinity – a measure of the water’s ability to resist a reduction in its pH level. The information gathered by the BORAbox will feed into a global understanding of climate change and its impact hardW als by Richard Wals by by P to by R Richard Wals Pho Photo by Richard Wals P Photo o o t by y Ric ic ic ichar a h h h h d Wals lsh, h, h, h h, h, h hardW alsh, hy/UCS hy/UCS fO ce c nog fO cea o raphy/UCS itu itution f Oceanog nstitutiono fO ceanography/UCS S ipp nstitution of Ocean nography/UCS Scr S Scripps I s I s s nst st stitu tu utio i ion o o o of Oceanogr rap phy/ y hy/UCS SD D D D D D DUCSD on the oceans. As a result, the research will also be used to better predict how the oceans and weather systems will react over the coming decades.
