A Buoy Carrier Device for Temperature and Salt Sensors

Abstract

Surface seawater salinity is one of the most important items in marine hydrological observation. By statistical analysis of its continuous observation data, the salinity and variation law of surface seawater in this sea area can be obtained, which is of great significance to marine disaster prevention and mitigation, to promote the development of marine economy. Therefore it is important to access to reliable observational data. This paper introduced a kind of buoy temperature and salt sensor carrier device. which was composed of three parts: anti-winding fixing module, floating body counterweight module and protection filter module. It could not only prevent seawater fouling, but also reduce the influence of physical (winding, vibration, collision) factors, greatly improve the service life of temperature and salt sensor and the continuity and reliability of observation, and was convenient to maintain, so it was very suitable for ocean station.
