| | PMEL Hydrothermal Plume Studies: SUAVE |
 | | In addition to chemical components, SUAVE is equipped to accept signals from an array of auxiliary sensors that include state of the art CTD sensors, optical sensors, thermisters, or any other sensor with output between 0 and 5 vdc. |
 | | SUAVE is extremely versatile and can be mounted on a wide variety of platforms for sampling during profiles or transects, or deployed for short term monitoring applications. |
 | | For example, SUAVE has been fitted to CTD, camera, and side-scan tow packages, to two research submersibles (ALVIN, and SHINKAI 6500) and 3 ROVs (ROPOS, Ventana, and ATV), and demonstrated to be a viable research tool in each instance. |
