Marker Buoys – Framework Agreement For The Acquisition Of Autonomous Profiling Floats, Sensors, Supplies And Associated Services For The Volcano-Acoustic And Environmental Study Of The Oceans On Behalf Of The Géoazur Unit. The Purpose Of This Consultation Is To Acquire Autonomous Profiling Floats For Seismo-Acoustics In The Ocean, As Well As Sensors For Oceanography Integrated With The Floats, Supplies And Associated Services. Each Float Will Be Equipped With A Hydrophone And An On-Board Algorithm For The Autonomous Detection Of Seismo-Acoustic Events. The Floats Will Operate Autonomously (Without Vessel Intervention) Over Periods Of Several Years And At Depths Of Up To 6,000 Meters Depending On The Version Chosen. The Floats Will Be Equipped With Additional Sensors (Temperature Sensors, Velocity, Salinity, Dissolved Iron, Ph, Redox Potential, High Frequency Hydrophone) Which Will Be Controlled By The Float. The Floats Are Intended For The Umr Géoazur. They Will Be Used Within The Framework Of Different Projects And In Particular The Erc Synergy Harvest.
