Summer Ice Edge Cruise 2016
                                              • In the summer of 2016, two Sailbuoys will be deployed in
                                                the area around the ice edge

                                              • In a collaboration project between Offshore Sensing,
                                                Aanderaa, CMR and Nansen Environmental and Remote
                                                Sensing Center (NERSC), the vessels will be utilized to
                                                look at the processes around the ice – ocean interface

                                              • One Sailbuoy will be mounted with O2, pH, pCO2,
                                                Conductivity and temperature sensors

 Sailbuoy routes will be planned              • The other Sailbuoy will utilize a mounted ecco sounder to
 Using satellite data from the area             collect back scatter data
 close to the ice-edge
                                              • Satellite data will be utilized for navigation purposes to
                                                ensure the vessels are guided to the most scientific
                                                interesting areas

                                              • Scientific analysis will be done by NERSC

Sailbuoy with Aanderaa Sensor Pack
• Sailbuoy offers a unique method to gather
  data in remote locations
• In the Iskantseilas (Ice Edge) project, we
  wanted to utilize this platform to test out
  Aanderaa’s new range of sensors: optical pH
  and optical pCO2
• The Sailbuoy with the Aanderaa sensor pack
  utilizes a bulb mounted design
• The sensor pack can include: O2, pH, pCO2,
  Conductivity, Temperature and turbidity
  from Aanderaa
• Fouling is avoided using a UV light              Sailbuoy with Aanderaa sensors
                                                   and UV light in kiel
• A wide range of sensors from other vendors
  can be fitted by mounting them in the vessel
