M4: Modular Meteo-Marine Monitoring Buoy

wpeA.jpg (14230 byte)

bullet

M4 - The ultimate monitoring buoy
A
completely modular real-time system for air and water monitoring consisting of:
– A surface buoy equipped with modular meteorological sensors and sub-surface modular oceanographic sensors.
– A mooring line with modular oceanographic sensors positioned at any number of depths.
– A bottom mount equipped with an upward looking ADCP for current profiling, complete with full multi-directional wave gauge capabilities.
– The Intelligent System Control and Logging.
Prominent features:
– The system operations can be remotely configured without the need of local intervention.
– The remote data download allows peace of mind and real-time system checkout.
– The self diagnostic capabilities and subsequent alarm broadcast minimize the need for routine maintenance.
– The Intelligent System Control transfers the data over the communication link (radio, sat or cellular phone), logs data internally to a file and transmit them at an user-defined interval or when an user-defined file size is reached, checks the sensors status and power (when a sensor malfunctioning or a power failure is detected, the M4 sends an alert message describing the specific problem encountered).
Smart Sampling™: when any combination of specified values with a specified persistence is detected, the M4 can switch to a specified setup until the detected conditions persist. Any number of combinations of multiple threshold values can be set. Example: when chlorophyll concentration exceeds value1 for a specified duration, the M4 sends a Smart Sampling Change message and starts sampling more frequently until the chlorophyll concentration falls below value1 for a specified duration.
Smart Alarm™: when any combination of specified values with a specified persistence is detected, an alarm is sent along with the measured value and persistence.
Remote Setup™: every operational setup of the M4 can be changed remotely, and sent to the M4 via the communication link.

3Hull: Trimaran for Doppler profilers

bullet

3Hull - The ultimate boat for your Doppler profiler
The 3Hull is the ultimate boat for your Doppler profiler, bringing unparalleled improvements in quantity, quality and reliability to a wide range of research, monitoring, and engineering applications.
When profiling current on a moving boat the data quantity, quality and reliability depend on stability of the instrument on the water and transducer draft. The best data require the highest boat stability and the lowest transducer draft.
We designed the 3Hull boat to meet these requirements. The 3Hull boat has the highest stability and allows the lowest transducer draft that you can possibly get. The working environment of a Doppler profiler on a 3Hull boat is just as ideal as possible.

Waves Processing

MARLIN: Remote Waves Processing Module

bullet MARLIN interfaces the RDI's Waves Firmware and processes raw data remotely using WavesMon, the standard RDI's waves processing software, so you can transmit only processed data. The user can remotely configure and change the processing parameters.
MARLIN is available in both underwater and IP-65 housing and can be fully integrated with your existing datalogger or telemetry.

Integrated Systems

DCR: Doppler Current Recorder

bulletThe DCR – Doppler Current Recorder is a rugged, true vector averaging sensor for measuring current speed and direction in water that employs the same transducer head used in Aanderaa’s RCM-9 current meters, but adding ease of use and improved capabilities & versatility to the system.
The
DCR can record data also from the best available sensors from the best manufacturers in the world for each specific application. When you need to measure parameters in your moving water with the highest possible quality and reliability, the DCR is the solution.
