Sonardyne Integrates CONTROS HydroC Sensor for Marine Research

Underwater technology manufacturer Sonardyne International Ltd has integrated a CONTROS HydroC dissolved CO2 sensor from -4H-JENA engineering into its Origin 600 ADCP (Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler), unlocking new capabilities for marine research into ocean acidification.

Precise Monitoring for Marine Ecosystems

The combined solution enables precise, real-time monitoring of dissolved carbon dioxide levels alongside detailed current profiling, providing insights into the impacts of rising CO2 concentrations on marine ecosystems and biodiversity.

Advanced Sensor Technology

The CONTROS HydroC dissolved CO2 sensor from -4H-JENA engineering is designed specifically for accurate and reliable measurement of dissolved carbon dioxide in marine environments. These sensors are essential tools for understanding ocean acidification.

Effective Deployment

In a recent deployment for a Sonardyne customer project, the integrated system demonstrated its effectiveness. The CONTROS HydroC sensor was cabled directly to the Origin 600, which powered the sensor and logged its data. The data was then fused with the ADCP measurements to create an integrated dataset transmitted to the surface every five minutes for remote access by marine scientists.
