New 250 kHz version of Signature VM Coastal offers accurate current profiling to 200 meters
Nortek has launched the Signature VM Coastal in a 250 kHz version. This completes the company’s suite of vessel-mounted acoustic Doppler current profilers (ADCPs) designed to measure coastal movements throughout the epipelagic zone.
Nortek redefines current profiling from autonomous vehicles
Installation and operation of current profiling instruments on remote unmanned or autonomous surface vehicles (USVs and ASVs) can be fraught with difficulties. Nortek has made it a lot simpler – and more useful – by combining its Signature ...
How to get discharge data from Nortek’s vessel-mounted systems
Discharge, or volumetric flow rate, is a key factor in the assessment of watersheds, estuaries and coastal oceans. To date, obtaining discharge with Signature VM data has been left to the user, but the required computation sequence can be a...
Current measurement made simple and easy
Measurements of current profiles do not have to be complicated. Here’s why ADCPs in the Aquadopp Profiler series prove that current profiles can be easily obtained by users who are less experienced:
Nortek launches educational webinars for the ocean technology community
What kind of webinars appeal to the ocean technology community in these extraordinary times? Nortek has learnt that interactive digital events with an emphasis on learning and practical examples have a massive appeal.
U. Washington/APL use Nortek’s Signature1000 to observe fine-scale oceanic velocity structures
The 5th, 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...
Change of management as Nortek grows and develops
