Advances in instrumented Lagrangian buoys

5th Internacional Workshop on Marine Technology (MARTECH 2013), 9-11 October 2013, Girona.-- 1 page, 2 figuresSince 2005 the ICM-CSIC has designed, built and tested surface drifting buoys for the measurement of several oceanographic parameters, mainly temperature and salinity. These prototypes have evolved and been adapted to different sampling needs and strategies. We present here the main characteristics and capabilities of these last developmentsThe design and construction of buoys at ICM-CSIC has been funded by different research projects. During the last two years three projects have supported the recent developments (MIDAS-6, Spanish I+D+i National Plan AYA2010-22062-C05-01; TIC-MOC, Spanish I+D+i National Plan CTM2011-28867; TOSCA, European Regional Development Fund MED Programme G-MED09-425)Peer Reviewe
