Abstract:
The Seatrec infiniTE (Infinite Thermal Energy) float is the first subsurface ocean profiling platform powered by clean, renewable energy to address the power constraints of traditional floats. By combining an autonomous profiling float with a proprietary energy harvesting system, the infiniTE float generates electricity from the ocean's temperature differences to power sensors that are not feasible on existing profiling floats. Its baseline configuration includes a conductivity, temperature, depth (CTD) sensor and can profile three times a day to a depth of approximately 1000 meters.
Purpose:
PacIOOS provides timely, reliable, and accurate ocean information to support a safe, clean, productive ocean and resilient coastal zone in the U.S. Pacific Islands region.
Credit:
The Pacific Islands Ocean Observing System (PacIOOS) is funded through the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) as a Regional Association within the U.S. Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS). PacIOOS is coordinated by the University of Hawaii School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology (SOEST).
