VMP-6000
Untethered, pre-programmable full ocean-depth profiler for turbulence microstructure and CTD measurements, rated to 6000 m.
Description
The VMP-6000 is a full ocean-depth profiling system for turbulence microstructure, CTD and other oceanographic parameters. It operates autonomously with no connection to the ship, recording on the downward profile. At a pre-programmed depth it releases ballast and returns to the surface, where it is located by RF beacon, strobe and satellite transmitter.
Key features
- 2 shear probes and 2 FP07 micro-temperature probes
- CT sensor plus pressure, tilt and 2 vibration sensors
- Rechargeable battery pack
- Redundant ballast release
- Depth rating 6000 m; up to 27 hours continuous operation depending on configuration
Applications
Deep-ocean turbulence and mixing research from research vessels.
