Performance evaluation of an ADCP combined with a scientific echosounder
Echosounders are widely used to quantify fish behavior, fish stocks and zooplankton biomass. Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers have also been used…
A DVL that brings navigation accuracy to tank inspection robots in a harsh environment
The versatility of Nortek’s DVL is spotlighted by its integration on a pioneering autonomous robot that is revolutionizing fuel tank inspection while…
Deploying a vessel-mounted ADCP on a USV to survey currents in a complex river environment
If a river crossing can be mapped using a USV instead of field personnel, then the risk to life is considerably reduced. Ultrabeam Hydrographic…
Flexible ADCP sensor solution for rapid inshore deployments of USVs
For HydroSurv, the capacity to quickly install and easily operate sensors on its USVs permits collection of critical environmental data at short…
Studying water flow to maximize coral growth on reefs
A coral reef research team at San Diego State University is building floating structures called “Coral Arks” to learn more about the conditions coral…
Integrating DVLs on USVs for robust navigation capabilities
There is no “one size fits all” solution when it comes to sensors on Uncrewed Surface Vehicles (USVs). A diverse array of USVs inevitably means that…
Studying environmental DNA and ocean currents to locate fish aggregations in Puerto Rico
Marine scientists in Puerto Rico are investigating if water samples can be used to determine what types of fish and other organisms are present in an…
Oceanographic data of extraordinary quality made possible by integration of ADCP on underwater glider
Alseamar, a producer of glider UUVs, has been able to produce highly accurate data plots of current profiles from large swathes of the water column.…
Providing current and wave data to the offshore wind energy industry
Nortek is supporting metocean survey and consulting company Partrac Ltd to provide floating windfarm developers with detailed and accurate data on…
Improving port operations in Brazil with real-time metocean monitoring
Metocean monitoring systems in ports have become increasingly popular in recent years. In what ways can such environmental data improve operations in…
Supporting ocean conservation in reef habitats with the Eco current profiler
The innovative ocean conservation organization Blue Latitudes Foundation used the Eco ADCP to better understand the marine environment by artificial…
