The OceanPack™ RACE is a mobile and robust water monitoring system that has been specially optimized for racing vessels, designed in collaboration with vessel operators and ocean scientists, and successfully deployed during major events such as the Volvo Ocean Race. With a compact footprint and low power draw, it can be run without user intervention once powered on.
Featuring a lightweight carbon frame and a removable display and control panel, the system includes a pCO2 analyzer and a thermosalinograph as standard, and can be equipped with other sensors. It can also optionally be fitted with a self-cleaning mechanism to lower maintenance requirements.
Data can be transmitted in real-time via the vessel’s on-board system, or with an optional satellite or RF transmitter. pCO2 data can be optionally referenced with standard gases, allowing qualified data to be recorded in the SOCAT database.
