Notice Title
Profiling Floats for Ocean Data Collection
Notice Description
Framework Agreement for supply of profiling floats for ocean data collection, covering the following lots: Lot 1: Standard Argo with Iridium Communications Lot 2: Iridium Floats with Bio-Geochemical Sensors
Lot Information
Standard Argo with Iridium Communications
The floats must carry proven temperature, salinity and pressure sensors that meet the following standards. The temperatures are accurate to +-0.002degC and pressures are accurate to +-2.4dbar. For salinity, the data delivered in real time are sometimes affected by sensor drift, for many floats this drift is small and the uncorrected salinities are accurate to +-0.01 psu. (At a later stage, salinities are checked by comparing older floats with newly deployed instruments and ship-based data, where salinity drifts may be corrected for.) The data must be transmitted with at least the following resolution 0.001 degC in temperature, 0.001 in salinity and 0.1 dbar in pressure.
Renewal: There is an option to extend for a further 12 months
Iridium Floats with Bio-Geochemical SensorsBio-geochemical floats must be capable of meeting the core (standard) Argo requirements, therefore the floats must carry a proven temperature, salinity and pressure sensor that meets the following standards. The temperatures are accurate to +-0.002degC and pressures are accurate to +-2.4dbar. For salinity, the data delivered in real time are sometimes affected by sensor drift, for many floats this drift is small and the uncorrected salinities are accurate to +-0.01 psu. (At a later stage, salinities are checked by comparing older floats with newly deployed instruments and ship-based data, where salinity drift may be corrected for.) The data must be transmitted with at least the following resolution 0.001 degC in temperature, 0.001 in salinity and 0.1 dbar in pressure.
Renewal: There is an option to extend for a further 12 months.
