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.
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 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
After over two decades at the helm of Nortek, a specialist in oceanographic instrumentation, Atle Lohrmann is taking on new challenges at newly started Hefring Engineering in Boston. Nortek’s new CEO, Finn Ivar Marum, has been entrusted wit...
Helping young sailing athletes learn and compete internationally
Sailors are as passionate about the ocean as we are. Nortek has long sponsored young sailing athletes to enable them to learn and to compete internationally. Currently, we are helping the athletes in the Nortek Sailing Team to compete on an...
Two problems in sediment measurements tackled
ADCPs are great for current measurements, but can they be improved for sediment measurements? Absolutely! In this article you will find out how the Signature1000 echosounder improves two important aspects of your sediment measurements.
Explaining online measurement of oceanographic data
What it is? An online measurement is real-time telemetry (or transmission) of sensor data to either a secondary telemetry system (i.e. satellite or GSM modem) or directly to a PC for real-time or near real-time display or storage.
High-res echo profiles and other updates to Nortek’s vessel-mounted system
We’re continuously working to improve our system for vessel-mounted current measurements and related data processing. In recent months we have added a scientific echosounder, along with making several smaller improvements to our Signature V...
