McLane Moored Profiler

Brief Description:

The McLane Moored Profiler (MMP) autonomously profiles the water column along a fixed tether while carrying a selection of oceanographic sensors.

Profiling depth, time intervals and pressure stops are user-defined, and profiling patterns can span specific seasons or timeframes. An optional underwater inductive modem provides real-time communication between the MMP and a surface buoy or seabed node.

We offer two MMP models: the standard and extended version.  The extended MMP provides 50% more battery capacity and is only 12.7cm longer than the standard MMP.

Overview

DEPTH: 30 m to 6000 m (mooring dependent)
MINIMUM WATER TEMP:  -2°C (non freezing)
PROFILING SPEED: 25 cm/sec (10cm/sec, 33cm/sec options available)
POWER: Supplied 12  V primary lithium battery pack
BATTERY ENDURANCE: Standard MMP: 208 Ah battery. Extended MMP: additional 104 Ah battery
SUPPORTED SENSORS*:  Seabird 52MP CTD Seabird Inductive Modem
Falmouth Scientific ACM Seapoint Fluorometer, Turbidity
Aanderaa Optode DOX ProOceanus Mini-Pro CO2 or CH4
Seabird 43F DOX Biospherical PAR
Satlantic SUNA Nitrate Wet Labs ECO, C-STAR, SeaOwl
* Other sensors can be integrated depending on sensor size and battery drain

Note: McLane utilizes various metals and engineering plastics in the fabrication of our instruments. These materials are usually suitable for long-term oceanographic deployments. However, it is the customer’s responsibility to determine material suitability for a specific operating environment. Review McLane statement on materials used in frames, fixtures, and housings.

Access MMP data from Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI) research arrays including the Pioneer Array south of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, the Argentine Basin, Irminger Sea, Southern Ocean, Station Papa, and more.

Support

A complete MMP software distribution is available from McLane. The distribution includes the current version of the MMP Firmware, User Manual, Sensor Manuals, terminal emulation software, MMP data processing software, and a ballasting spreadsheet.
