METOCEAN's Compact Air Launched Ice Beacon (CALIB) is an Argos-reporting mini beacon (A-size sonobuoy configuration) which may be launched from either fixed or rotary-wing aircraft. The design is based upon our highly successful AN/WSQ-6 series of buoys. Our CALIB buoys collect meteorological data in support of weather forecasting in polar climates and are also used by oceanographers for tracking ice flows.
The configurations currently available for the CALIB are as follows: Ice Temperature, Barometric Pressure, ARGOS telemetry, Alkaline Battery and Lithium Battery. Please contact a METOCEAN Sales Agent regarding requests for additional sensors not listed above. Custom options are available.

| Data Transmit Format |
|
| The sensor data is formatted for Argos transmission, and reported information is updated every 20 minutes. Message formatting, Argos ranges and reporting resolutions can be easily adapted to the customer's requirements.
