StarStarStarStar

Submersible

StarStarStarStar

Manned or unmanned vessels that are capable of underwater operations, used for deep-sea observations and research missions.

StarStarStarStar

Multi-beam Sonar

StarStarStarStar

Used for precise mapping of the seafloor, it emits multiple sound waves in a fan shape to measure the return time and strength to create detailed bathymetric maps.

StarStarStarStar

AUV (Autonomous Underwater Vehicle)

StarStarStarStar

AUVs are pre-programmed, robotic vehicles used in oceanography for mapping, sampling, and scientific research without direct human control.

StarStarStarStar

Gravity Corer

StarStarStarStar

A tool for taking sediment cores from the ocean floor to study the layers of sediment, which contain information about past oceanic conditions.

StarStarStarStar

ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle)

StarStarStarStar

Operated by a crew aboard a vessel, ROVs are used to explore deep waters, collect samples, and conduct underwater research with minimal risk.

StarStarStarStar

XBT (Expendable Bathythermograph)

StarStarStarStar

Deployed from a ship to measure the temperature of seawater at different depths as it descends. Useful for obtaining temperature profiles quickly.

StarStarStarStar

CTD (Conductivity, Temperature, Depth) Sensor

StarStarStarStar

Used to determine the salinity, temperature, and depth of seawater, which are crucial for understanding ocean circulation and properties.

StarStarStarStar

Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP)

StarStarStarStar

Utilizes the Doppler effect to measure water current velocities over a depth range. Can be used to understand water column movement and transport.
