The MINTS Robotic boat (Maritime Robotics Otter) is instrumented with state of the are instrumentation which includes the following

  • (1) and (2) show the BioSonics MX Aquatic Habitat Echosounder (sonar) for Autonomous Platforms.
  • (3) and (4) shows the Eureka Manta+40 multi-probe. Our boat has three of these that contain an array of sensors measuring Temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, total dissolved gas, and turbidity. Fluorometers measuring: Chlorophyll A with Red Excitation, Blue-Green Algae (Phycocyanin and Phycoerythrin), CDOM/fDOM, optical brighteners, crude oil, refined fuels, and tryptophan. Ion sensors measuring NH, NO, Br, Cl, Na, Ca, conductivity (with specific conductance, salinity, and total dissolved solids).
  • (5) A portable modular and boat-portable membrane inlet mass spectrometer (MIMS). (6) Sequoia LISST-200X is a submersible laser-diffraction based particle size analyzer designed to measure particle size and concentration.
  • (7) NIST calibrated Airmar 220WX weather station with ultrasonic wind speed and direction, pressure, temperature, humidity, compass and GPS.
  • (8) Texas Instruments DLP compact ultra portable NIR spectroscopy solutions for water analysis 900-1,700 nm and 1,350-2,490 nm.
