How Do You Get Your Ocean Survey Equipment?
When it is time to order your ocean survey
equipment, you can work with a rental company
that operates on the shore. You do not need to
order all your gear from some far-off company
that you have never heard of. Plus, you can get
custom recommendations from the equipment maker
when you are preparing your boat. Contact the
equipment designer that is close to your docks so
that you can talk about the equipment you need
to be successful.
There Are Standard Devices You can get the
standard devices that range from a CTD array to
an ROV and an acoustic Doppler current profiler.
You can get cameras and lights to attach to the
ROV, and you can get a winch that will haul
everything to and from the ship. Plus, you can
get a data cable that will work with the winch to
transmit information from your sensors or ROV
back to the topside unit. You will get real-time
information on the survey that you are doing, and
you can determine the course of the survey if
you already have this information. You Can Order
Custom Equipment You can order custom equipment
if you have specific needs that cannot be met
with traditional gear. You know the limits of
gear you have used in the past, and you can send
your specifications to the equipment designer.
Your gear will be made in time for your next
survey, and you can use these devices as often as
you need. Custom equipment is a very important
part of many surveys, but it is not a
requirement. You simply need to talk to the
designer about how they can help
you. Installation Happens At The Docks When you
have ordered a winch or other accessories for the
boat, those items can be installed on your boat
when your survey is about to begin. This is the
best way for you to get ready for the trip
because you may not have enough people to
complete these installations. Plus, the company
that you have bought from offers rentals. If you
are done with rental equipment, you can return
that rental to the manufacturer as soon as you
get back. They will come pick it up from your
boat. USL And CTD Arrays You can get a standard
CTD array built for your survey that will use
several different sensors to give you
information about the water, the current, and
even the temperature. You can measure depth and
pressure using
2
these sensors, and they can be installed in
seconds. If you are ordering a custom device, you
might get a USL array that is very compact. You
do not need to worry about interference when you
are using USL technology, and you can get
accurate measurements in any part of the ocean.
USL arrays are favored by researchers who want to
add as many sensors as they can. You are
determined to get accurate measurements
throughout your survey, but you cannot do that
if you are not using the right gear. Ask the
equipment builder if they have a recommendation
for your survey. A Final Note When you are
setting up for your survey, make sure that you
have worked with a company on the docks that can
provide you with all the gear you need. The
company should deliver all here items to your
boat, and they will take back any rentals when
your trip is over. You can order custom gear at
any time, and you can rent something that is
very common. You are able to save money, save
time, and get your research done effectively.
