LOBO Configurations
RiverLOBO
Designed for rivers and estuaries with constant or periodic currents,
the RiverLOBO
utilizes a specially designed float to minimize drag. The robust system
is designed to be completely submerged and has been tested in heavy
icing conditions down to -20C without missing any data
transmissions.
BayLOBO
Designed for protected bays and small lakes, the BayLOBO
uses a heavy duty disc shaped float well suited for riding waves. A
larger payload bay allows for more battery capacity for longer
deployments.
DockLOBO
Without the buoy hull, DockLOBO
is a convenient module to monitor water quality from fixed platforms of
opportunity such as a dock or piling. By placing the hardware on a
solid structure, this system can utilize solar power for more aggressive
data acquisition schedules and lower operational costs. From the dock
site the data can be sent back to the user via wireless or cabled
options.
BenthicLOBO
BenthicLOBO
also has no buoy hull and is designed in a frame suitable for deployment
on the bottom near a dock. Instrument data is transmitted back to shore
using an armored cable. Power is provided by a shore based power system
using solar panels and batteries. From the shore the data can be sent
back to the user via wireless or cabled options.
