A Second Set of Eyes: cNODE Mantis Acoustic Modem
Speaker:
Jan-Erik Faugstadmo, Technical Advisor - Positioning and Communication, Kongsberg Maritime
Kongsberg has recently announced an exciting new addition to the cNODE product range of acoustic modems. cNODE Mantis provides a new capability to stream a live video feed for a variety of subsea applications with a quality of 420 x 380p at four frames per second. Having established itself over the years as an acoustic positioning system of unmatched reliability and robustness, the cNODE has set the…
How to Improve Your Underwater Photos & Video: A Guide for Oceanographers, Marine Biologists & Researchers
As an oceanographic scientist, researcher, or professional, it can be challenging to get vessel time for your project. Often one of the goals of a subsea project is to collect footage and images. You only get a short amount of time to collect the survey data, so being prepared is important. Join Chad Collett, Founder & CEO of SubC…
During this brown-bag seminar Dan Shropshire from Teledyne will present their latest and greatest Marine Vehicle technologies which enable Oceanographic research. He will provide a brief overview of gliders, profiling floats, AUVs, ASVs, and ROVs as well as applications that highlight oceanographic research done with these devices. Emphasis will be placed on the latest technologies which help enable these systems.
Multiparameter instruments provide more than just extra data points. By integrating a diverse collection of sensors in a single package, we can use these relationships between different parameters to tell a rich scientific story. Greg Ikeda of Sea-Bird Scientific will walk you through how multiparameter CTDs like the HydroCAT-EP V2 can gather data that helps us better understand oceanic events, using Hurricane Matthew and a harmful algal bloom in Florida as examples.
Greg Johnson, President of RBR, will deliver an update on engineering and product developments at RBR with references to novel applications and current projects. He will focus on RBR's approach to solving challenges in ocean measurement and data acquisition. Questions and discussion from the Scripps oceanography and engineering community will be encouraged. Depending on interest from the Scripps community, topics for discussion can also include: instrument power management, including battery selection data file creation and transfer, including RBR-supported tools for Matlab and data hosting services measurement theory and sensor calibration
This presentation will describe experiences learned from use of Gothenburg University benthic chamber landers during more than 300 deployments/1000 incubations in water depths from 5 to 5600 m. Measurements of different solutes/contaminants will be presented as well as manipulative injection experiments to study the N-cycle, phosphate retention and the effects of sediment re-suspension. Methods to increase the data quality will also be discussed.
