Due to growing demand from the oceanographic research community, RBR has released pyRSKtools, an official, open-source data processing toolbox for Python. This technical session will provide a brief overview of the toolbox and an opportunity to discuss coding and data processing issues with an expert from RBR.

The Scripps Technical Forum is back in person! Join us and Kongsberg Maritime to learn about their range of systems for exploring the oceans. The presentation will feature applications on scientific echo sounder systems for underwater science and fishery research. The focus will be on the EK80, a high-precision scientific echo sounder and ADCP system designed to quantify and monitor underwater ecosystems. Lunch will be provided!
More about EK80: The EK system has…

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…
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
