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
