OCEANOGRAPHIC DATA BUOY
Model ODB-2M-5000

 

The SOSI Model ODB-2M-5000 oceanographic data buoy is designed open water and coastal installations. The buoy body is fabricated of lightweight multi-density foam with a thick polyurethane skin that can receive sharp and repeated impacts without damage. The buoy surface can be easily cleaned when necessary. Integral steel structural frame pieces yield added strength to the hull and provide secure mounting points for the tower, bridle and subsurface instrument masts. The octagonal shape can include integral recessions for subsurface instrument masts. The shape makes it stable on its side (while on-deck), and has sharp chines for good motion damping.. The buoy is designed to accommodate a variety of payload requirements. The aluminum upper tower, lower bridle and optional sub-surface sensor masts allow for strength and a great variety of sensor suites specific to your needs

The buoy is constructed with an internal watertight well, designed to house a battery pack and optional charging system. It also serves as the base for a separate watertight electronics housing. The housing contains the data logger controller assembly and can hold a variety of sensors, see a partial list below. The housing is built with bulkhead connectors and a data port for easy removal, computer access and maintenance. SOSI can provide full engineering service to integrate your specific measurement needs in your specific environment. Standard and custom housings, control software and data formats are available.
