VMP-500
Coastal vertical microstructure profiler for dissipation-scale turbulence in oceans and lakes, rated to 1000 m with a 2000 m option.
Description
The VMP-500 Vertical Microstructure Profiler measures dissipation-scale turbulence in coastal-zone and shelf regions, as well as lakes, and can be deployed from small vessels. It combines microstructure shear probes, high-resolution thermistors and high-accuracy CTD sensors, with either real-time data transmission or internal recording.
Key features
- 2 shear probes and an FP07 micro-thermistor
- SBE-3F / SBE-4C temperature and conductivity sensors
- Pressure, tilt and 2 vibration sensors
- Real-time telemetry or internal recording
- Pressure case rated to 1000 m depth (up to 2000 m option)
Applications
Turbulence and mixing studies on continental shelves, in coastal waters and in lakes.
