refractometry
  • Revolutionary approach based on refractometry
  • In situ refractive index measurement
  • Ideal for autonomous platform integration
  • Fast sensor configuration and data transfer using serial link
  • Optimize and compact design
  • Measured in real-time up to 3 Hz
  • Not need calibration after deployment
  • The thermodynamic properties of seawater such as density and enthalpy, are now correctly expressed as functions of Absolute Salinity rather being functions of the conductivity of seawater. Spatial variations of the composition of seawater mean that Absolute Salinity is not simply proportional to Practical Salinity.
  • NOSS sensor is a unique underwater sensor for in situ refractive index measurement and capable to detect salinity anomalies of seawater. NOSS sensor has been designed for an use even in harsh environments, down to 2000 meters.
  • Embedding on CTD probes, buoys, gliders, AUV, drifting-profiling floats for operational oceanography
  • Alternative solution to classical CTD
