INTEGRATED SYSTEMS

●    IMU I2NS (Inertial Sensor with Integrated Navigation System)
●    Valeport miniSVS (Sensor for measuring the speed of sound in the water)
●    Applanix Trimble POS MV GNSS system 
 

MEASUREMENTS 

●    Bathymetry: noting the speed of sound into the water, the measurement of the time elapsed between the emission of an acoustic wave and its subsequent recording after reflection from the seabed allows for the calculation of the depth of the seafloor. As a result, it is possible to obtain a Digital Terrain Model (DTM) representing the topography of the seafloor.
●    Backscatter: the measurement of backscatter signal provides information about the composition of the substrate. A hard substrate will have a higher backscatter signal, while a mobile substrate will have a lower backscatter signal. This information is particularly useful in the field of habitat mapping.
●    Water column data: acoustic waves can also be used to investigate the water column and its various characteristics in different areas, including gas emissions, biology (plankton), fish shoals (density), chemical-physical parameters of the water, and physical processes such as internal waves.
