Installed Scientific Equipment

Deep Water Multibeam Sonar System

The SeaBeam 210 bathymetric mapping system is capable of acoustically charting the seafloor to full ocean depths (11 km). A near real-time contour plot of the current swath is produced. The digital data are recorded for post processing on the shipboard Silicon Graphics UNIX workstations.

ADCP RD

Instruments VM-150 kHz Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) measures profiles of water velocity relative to the ship with 8M vertical resolution from 180-450 meters.

CTD System

Seabird CTD with rosette with assorted bottles.

Uncontaminated Sea Water

An uncontaminated seawater system is installed, with a thermosalinograph and a bench top fluorometer.
