Smart Buoy is a moored, intelligent, automated, multi parameter platform for marine environmental data acquisition featuring real-time global 2-way telemetry. CEFAS have a network of Smart Buoys deployed around the UK coastline to monitor environmental variability and ecosystem functions. The 3919B AADI sensors, which can be configured for analogue or RS-232 output, are bulkhead mounted aboard the platform's system monitoring datalogger which, depending on site requirements, can be near surface, mid water or seabed mounted.

The acquisition of the stock of Conductivity sensors has been spread over an 18 months period and follows intensive field and laboratory testing of a sample unit. The testing programme included the calibration, at the AADI manufacturing plant in Bergen, Norway, of one sensor mounted aboard a CEFAS datalogger to establish whether any localized variations were introduced by the datalogger's components. The 3919B sensor offers an accuracy of 0.0018 S/m coupled with Aanderaa's famed ruggedness and reliability. In addition to its obvious popularity with CEFAS, the sensor is also used by researchers at NOC, POL and OceanLab amongst many others.
