Delivers vessel-mounted ADCP capabilities with either an optional scientific echosounder for biomass measurements (100 kHz) or very long-range measurements (55 kHz)
Until now, epipelagic and mesopelagic VM ADCP surveys could not deliver the resolution, precision or range to examine the ocean boundary layer in detail. The VM Ocean system with the Signature100 ADCP enables biomass studies in the upper-ocean boundary layer simultaneous to current measurements, with a combined ADCP and scientific echosounder. The innovative dual-frequency design of the Signature55 ADCP allows for both very long-range (up to 1000m) current profiles as well as higher-resolution measurements.
