RBRbrevio³

The RBRbrevio3 C.T.D (Fig. 4) is a small instrument with the following three sensors:

  • Conductivity (C)

  • Temperature (T)

  • Depth (D)

The RBRbrevio3 C.T.D is the shortest of RBR standard instruments and may be used to derive salinity, density anomaly, and sound velocity. When mounted on a stationary subsea vehicle, the pressure sensor can measure high-frequency waves. The CFD-optimised conductivity cell is self-flushing and does not require a pump. Its silent operation facilitates stealth missions and passive acoustic listening. For profiling applications, the co-located thermistor reduces salinity spiking, thus increasing data accuracy.

The RBRbrevio3 C.T.D has all of the same features as the RBRconcerto3 C.T.D, just in a smaller form factor, thus best suited for applications where size and weight are critical.
