BOTTOM PRESSURE RECORDER WITH ACCELEROMETER
The RBRquartz³ APT (Accelerometer, Pressure, Temperature) combines a triaxial quartz accelerometer with the Paroscientific Digiquartz® pressure sensor, building on the capabilities of the RBR bottom pressure recorders. The instrument is intended for deepwater earthquake and tsunami detection and monitoring.
The RBRquartz³ APT is ideal for ocean bottom earthquake and tsunami early-warning systems, providing continuous measurements while connected to a cabled realtime network. The instrument is designed for rapid ROV deployment, and penetrates the seabed to ensure good seismic coupling and insulation from potential noise sources. The RBRquartz³ APT supports both autonomous installations and realtime data streaming to cabled observatories.
The sub-second integration time consumes less power during sampling, significantly extending the time until the next battery replacement. User selectable integration time for each reading means you can adjust the resolution to your measurement needs. Datasets can be read directly in Matlab, or exported to Excel, OceanDataView®, or text files.
