McLane Moored Profiler (MMP) sensor options now include the Nortek AquaDopp HR and Satlantic SUNA sensors. Also, the Seabird Inductive Modem (IMM) communication protocol has been fully implemented as an option to inductively transfer files. The AquaDopp collects Doppler acoustic current measurements, and the SUNA is a nitrate sensor. For a full up-to-date list of integrated MMP sensors, view the MMP section of our website.
The MMP is McLane’s flagship profiler which autonomously profiles the water column in a time-series along a fixed tether with optional underwater inductive modem for real-time communication between the MMP and a surface buoy or seabed node. Profiling depth, time intervals and pressure stops are user-defined, and profiling patterns can span specific seasons or timeframes. Standard and extended MMP models are available with the extended MMP providing 50% more battery capacity.
