Name Brand Justification for Flotation Technologies Trawl Resistant Bottom Mounts Replacement Parts  The Flotation Technologies® Trawl Resistant Bottom Mount model AL/200 is a standard bottom mount used to deploy oceanographic current measurement sensors for CO-OPS. These mounts consist of 4 parts; a cage for deployment, a float for recovery, a pod to hold the float until released, and a gimbal to hold the sensor in the mount. Some of the mounts in our inventory are missing these parts due to damage and loss during deployment. It is more cost effective to replace these parts than purchasing new mounts.  Under the current CO-OPS operating system any environmental monitoring sensor that has not been previously approved must be subjected to a series of tests to ensure the quality of the data produced by that sensor and the durability of that sensor for the intended use. These tests usually include bench testing using controlled conditions and physical measurement, controlled environmental testing to check a sensor's reliability under different conditions, and long term comparison testing with accepted sensors at multiple real world locations. These tests and the analysis of the resulting data take a large amount of time, money, and resources to conduct. Due to the immediate need of these replacement parts, any untested parts will not be considered.  These Flotation Technologies® Trawl Resistant Bottom Mount model AL/200 has been approved for use by CO-OPS and has been tested and fitted for our existing infrastructure. The AL/200 is designed to hold a Teledyne RD Instruments Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler.  CO-OPS stations are designed for optimal performance of the Flotation Technologies® Trawl Resistant Bottom Mount model AL/200.
