Introducing a highly accurate speed log for large ships
Intelligent data processing is central to the performance of the new Doppler speed log created by oceanographic instrumentation specialist Nortek, which makes sure that accurate measurements of vessel speeds are available even in challengin...
U. Washington/APL use Nortek’s Signature1000 to observe fine-scale oceanic velocity structures
The fifth, vertical beam in the Signature1000 can provide unprecedented resolution when using pulse-coherent mode (HR).
A tailor-made buoy makes the deployment of Signature ADCPs even easier!
We have made life even easier for those working with ADCPs in the field: Nortek is now launching a custom-made subsurface buoy ideal for use with the Signature250 and Signature500 ADCPs.
Simplifying vessel-mounted current profiling and biomass measurements
By incorporating a current profiler and echosounder in one easy-to-install, vessel-mounted instrument, Nortek is making life more straightforward for researchers interested in current profiling and biomass measurements in the upper ocean b...
