Although not the most powerful greenhouse gas, CO₂ drives climate change due to the enormous volumes of this gas pumped into the atmosphere. Studies on the behavior, distribution and interaction of CO₂ in the water column and surface waters depend on accurate in-situ measurements.

CONTROS’ HydroC™ CO₂ is a unique underwater carbon dioxide sensor solving the global problems of the in-situ and online measurements of CO₂, profiling on rosettes or long-term deployed on buoys and moorings. Applications include air-sea gas exchange, ocean acidification, climate studies, as well as studies for fish farming and aquaculture.

Methane, CH₄

Methane is one of the most important gases in our environment. Detecting sites of active methane seepage from the sediment and quantifying gas fluxes in the water column requires accurate online measurements in-situ.

CONTROS’ HydroC™ CH₄ is a unique underwater methane sensor solving the global problems of the in-situ and online measurements of CH₄, profiling on rosettes or long-term deployed on buoys and moorings. Applications include climate change studies, methane hydrate studies, detection and localization of natural methane seepage, etc.
