Description
YUCO-CTD
Accurate Autonomous Salinity and Temperature Monitoring for Ocean, Coastal, and Freshwater Environments
The YUCO-CTD micro-AUV is a precision tool designed to autonomously monitor salinity and temperature in diverse aquatic environments including oceans, coastal zones, and lakes. It is equipped with the high-quality RBR Legato CT sensor mounted on top of the vehicle to ensure optimal flow measurement for accurate data collection.
Ideal for repeated site visits and single-operator deployment, the YUCO-CTD supports extended missions with up to 10 hours of autonomy, enabling comprehensive environmental monitoring in dynamic conditions.
Key Features
• Equipped with RBR Legato CT sensor for precise salinity and temperature measurement
• Optional Doppler Velocity Log (DVL) for enhanced navigation accuracy in currents
• Multiple navigation modes via SEAPLAN software to tailor data collection:
-
Saw-tooth pattern for long-distance profiling
-
Shutdown surfacing for vertical profiling
-
Fixed altitude from the seafloor using DVL (optional)
-
Fixed depth from surface using pressure sensor
• Capability to integrate additional sensors such as dissolved oxygen, fluorimeter, and turbidity to expand monitoring capabilities
• Up to 10 hours of autonomous operation powered by embedded rechargeable batteries
• Compact and rugged design suited for coastal and lake monitoring with frequent site visits
YUCO-CTD is the perfect solution where an accurate and swift measurement of salinity is required:
