Rockland Scientific Device / Instrument
VMP-250
Lightweight coastal vertical microstructure profiler measuring micro-scale turbulence, rated to 500 m (1000 m option) with up to 10 hours of operation.
Description
The VMP-250 Vertical Microstructure Profiler is a versatile instrument for coastal and upper-ocean turbulence measurements. It is suited to ships with limited deck space or minimal electrical facilities and has been deployed through ice boreholes. Turbulence is measured directly with Rockland piezoceramic shear probes, augmented by an FP07 fast thermistor and integrated CTD sensors.
Key features
- 2 shear probes and 1 FP07 micro-temperature sensor
- Nose-mounted CT sensor
- Standard internal battery and memory, or optional internal logging with real-time output
- Optional fluorometer/turbidity and oxygen sensors
- Optional uprising kit
- Depth rating 500 m (1000 m option); up to 10 hours continuous operation depending on configuration
Applications
Coastal and upper-ocean turbulence studies from small and mid-size vessels, including under-ice deployments.
