Vertical distribution of temperature in the Gulf of Finland (Baltic Sea), June 30 - August 4, 2010. Depth range: 3-45 m, location 59°41.05 N, 24°37.45 E. Click for details.
Meet the X-Buoy – Flydog's autonomous profiling buoy. X-Buoy transmits real time data of the sea profile in depths 0 to 50 meters or more (bigger depths with enhanced winches). Current version of buoy uses Idronaut Ocean Seven 316 Plus CTD probes, which can measure temperature, oxygen, pH, salinity and other indicators, as the probe is fully customizable with many sensors. The Idronaut probe comes with REBUS software for Windows. Have full access to the real-time data that the X-Buoy delivers to you.
The X-Buoy can be adapted to a number of different profilers. The waterproof cargo bay of X-Buoy can carry different measuring, surveillance and data equipment.
The X-Buoy has been designed to perform real-time data measurement in the profile of the sea. The communication options allow forwarding the gathered data directly to your computer.
Our goal is to provide a platform with great usability. We handle all the engineering, so you can focus on receiving the data you are looking for. Having a special project? Contact us for consultation.
Idronaut’s Profiler Module and Oceanographic CTD Probes give you wide range of data with real-time data access. Flydog has customized the X-Buoy for Idronaut equipment. The buoy will be prepared to meet your needs in the sea monitoring task you have.
Our R&D team has put a lot of effort into designing the X-Buoy into a module-architectured system that can be customizable with minimum restrictions. Tell us what you need and Flydog will give you the options. We can offer a turnkey solution from custom design to the final installation of the buoy.
Flydog original X-Buoy platform with waterproof cargo bay and energy system accommodates exactly the measuring, surveillance and data equipment you need. Installing your existing Idronaut probe to X-Buoy platform is an option.
The buoy has been successfully used in 2009-2011 in the Baltic Sea. The Marine Systems Institute at Tallinn University of Technology has gathered data using Flydog’s X-Buoy with Idronaut probe at unprecedented level of detail.
"Today, when the seas are getting more and more exploited, we need continuous on-line data about the state of marine environment. In 2009 the Marine Systems Institute at Tallinn University of Technology installed a profiling system from Idronaut. Since then we have a very good co-operation with engineers from Flydog Solutions. They have designed and built a new buoy system which is easy to deploy and maintain in the Baltic Sea. The company is very flexible to meet our growing demands on on-line data gathering."
