NINJA (TSK) float – recent operationToshio Suga (JAMSTEC / Tohoku Univ.) • 7 profiling floats with oxygen/chlorophyll sensors were funded by Japanese Fisheries Research Agency and deployed in March-May 2008. • 3 floats were NINJA floats. • 40-db parking depth following mixed layer • 500-db profiling with 5-day interval • Wetlabs FLNTU sensor with TSK shutter • Data compression enabling data transmission from >200 levels through ARGOS • 2 floats and their FLNTU sensors are still working properly almost after one year from deployment.
Wetlabs FLNTU and TSK Shutter FLNTU FLNTU with shutter shutter Cf. OEM model of FLNTU for APEX float
