MOTUS Stand-Alone Sensor
-
There are numerous ways of measuring Ocean Waves. At Aanderaa, we focus on three measurement types: pressure, acoustic, and motion. In this section, we cover the motion-based sensors in the MOTUS family.MOTUS Directional Wave Sensor is suitable for integration on different buoy types. It is intended for commercial as well as research use. The directional stand-alone Sensor processes wave data and is configurable to directly present parameters and wave spectrum. The sensor can be connected to a SmartGuard using the CANbus-based AiCaP protocol. It can also be connected to a PC or third-party systems through the RS-232 interface.MOTUS Wave Height Sensor is for wave height only. As the MOTUS Directional Sensor, it is suitable for integration on different buoy types. In the sensor, the directional wave parameters are locked. It is possible to open the wave direction parameters with a software license from Aanderaa later if the need changes. MOTUS Lite OEM Sensor is the OEM version of the MOTUS Directional Wave sensor. It is delivered as an electronic board without housing and cables. Please get in touch with the factory for more options and restrictions.

Stand-Alone Doppler Current Sensor
DCPS
-
The Doppler Current Profiler Sensor (DCPS) is a medium-range, 600kHz current profiler smart sensor. It offers high-quality ocean current measurements and is ideally suited for cabling directly to various systems or dataloggers via serial or AiCap bus. With its integrated compensation for tilting and movement, the sensor is commonly used to measure current from buoys and other moving platforms.The 5400/5400R version of the current sensor is 300m depth rated, the 5402/5402R version is 4500m depth rated, and the 5403/5403R version is 6000m depth rated and intended for commercial as well as research use. It comes with an integrated temperature sensor that can be calibrated on request.As an extension to the DCPS, we now offer the current profiler with an integrated pressure unit called the 5400P. This version enables acoustic wave measurements in addition to profiling currents. Ideal for small observatories, the DCPS sensor is the market's lowest-cost current and wave sensor.

YODA Profiler
-
The YODA profiler (“Yoing” Ocean Data Acquisition Profiler) is a “tow-yo” instrument to profile the water column with high spatial resolution from small boats without occupying much space. The instrument is provided with a deployment winch and sensors measuring conductivity, temperature, pressure, chlorophyll, turbidity and dissolved oxygen. The brush at the top of the instrument allows for a stabilizing effect on the free-fall sinking speed, which is approximately constant at 0.2 m/s. All data are stored internally and downloaded into a PC through a wet-connector and interface.

Teledyne Marine RD Instruments
Since 1997 Teledyne RD Instruments has been providing ADCPs that have proven in the field they can profile beyond 1000 m from research vessels traveling at speeds >15 knots and from offshore oil and gas platforms during exploration work. That same technology has now allowed us to create the Ocean Observer III 38 kHz ADCP. We have combined our field-proven 38 kHz phased array ADCP transducer with our field-proven electronics into a single package that is capable of profiling >1000m. This design makes it ideal to be mounted from an oil platform, over the side of a vessel, and in surface buoys.
