Biospherical Instruments, Inc. was awarded $299,996 under the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Small Business Innovation Research Program to develop a new technology for reducing biofouling on radiometers measuring light in ocean waters. The project aims to install ultraviolet C light-emitting diodes inside radiometers to inhibit biofouling using germicidal UV-C radiation without interfering with radiometric measurements. Key objectives during the initial six-month phase include identifying the optimal LED type, duty cycle, power system, and geometry. This innovation seeks to improve the long-term accuracy of sensors monitoring ocean health and associated data on factors like chlorophyll and dissolved organic concentrations by preventing accumulation of biological matter on submerged instrument surfaces.
