Oceanscience Underway CTD Delivered to Tropical Atlantic PIRATA Project
Click image for UCTD™ Video  | Today the Oceanscience Group announced a sale of the revolutionary UnderwayCTD (UCTD™) system to PIRATA Brazil, a member of a multinational program created to establish systematic oceanic observations for the South and Tropical Atlantic.
The PIRATA project requires high-quality CTD measurements to 500-m depth in the ship tracks between several monitoring buoys. With the Underway CTD, PIRATA scientists can profile the upper ocean while sailing at full speed. Prior to the introduction of the UCTD™, the ship had to stand idle for a few hours at each CTD station. Use of the UCTD™ ensures that temperature and salinity data will be collected with the high horizontal and vertical resolution needed to complement the high-temporal-resolution time series provided by the buoys. Oceanscience Senior Scientist and UCTD™ system developer Dr. Jochen Klinke says, "This is a perfect example of the increased ship time productivity afforded by the UCTD™. The system was designed with just this kind of opportunistic sampling in mind, allowing access to excellent quality data at a low incremental cost."
The Oceanscience Group, founded in 1998, is a world leader in design and manufacture of field data systems for hydrologists, hydrographers, and oceanographers. Besides the UnderwayCTD, products include tethered, remotely-controlled and autonomous survey vessels. |
The Oceanscience Group Celebrates Growing Popularity of its Underway CTD System
Click image for UCTD™ Video  | The Oceanscience Group, USA, reports continued success of their latest generation UnderwayCTD (UCTD™), the revolutionary sensor deployment system that allows repeatable research grade CTD casts while underway at over 10kt.
In the Pacific Ocean, the UCTD™ will be providing opportunistic CTD profiles during transits in the ITOP (Impact of Typhoons on Ocean in Pacific) project, while tropical Atlantic researchers in the PIRATA (Prediction and Research Moored Array in the Atlantic) program will be similarly increasing their vessel productivity on inter-buoy transits by deploying the UCTD™. Farther south, the UCTD™ provided important high-quality upper-ocean salinity measurements in the Antarctic during the Southern Ocean Carbon-Climate Observatory study. This UCTD™ system, used by the South African CSIR (Council for Scientific and Industrial Research), has defrosted and is being readied for the next campaign. In Europe, the Portuguese EMEPC project (Task Group for the Extension of the Portuguese Continental Shelf) summer cruise schedule will feature the UCTD™ newly instaled on the RV Almirante Gago Coutinho.
Oceanscience's Senior Scientist and UCTD™ system developer, Dr. Jochen Klinke commented, "The system's recipe for success is simple: it allows our customers to collect high quality temperature and salinity data, with a system that can be installed on almost any vessel with a minimum of investment."
Oceanscience designs and manufactures systems and deployment platforms for hydrologic and oceanographic instrumentation, including seafloor platforms, remotely-controlled and autonomous survey vessels, custom buoys, and the UCTD™.

The Oceanscience Group Celebrate and Build on Underway CTD Success
Click image for UCTD™ Video  | The Oceanscience Group reports continued success of their latest generation UnderwayCTD (UCTD™), the revolutionary "green" sensor deployment system that allows repeatable research grade CTD casts while underway at over 10kt.
In the Pacific Ocean, the UCTD™ will provide opportunistic CTD profiles during transits in the ITOP (Impact of Typhoons on Ocean in Pacific) project, while tropical Atlantic researchers in the PIRATA (Prediction and Research Moored Array in the Atlantic) program will deploy the UCTD™ to similarly increase their vessel productivity on inter-buoy transits. Farther south, the UCTD™ provided important high-quality upper-ocean salinity measurements in the Antarctic during the Southern Ocean Carbon-Climate Observatory study. This UCTD™ system, used by the South African CSIR (Council of Scientific and Industrial Research) has defrosted and is being readied for the next campaign. Environmentally conscious Fisheries and Coast Guard organizations have also selected the UCTD™ to help lessen their environmental footprint in the ocean by reducing their use of expendable probes. By using the UCTD™, underway profiles can be obtained with no trace left on the seafloor.
Dr. Adrian McDonald, Oceanscience Sales Executive commented, "The system's portability and ease of operation, combined with the high quality data generated, are key factors in our customers' purchase decisions - the UCTD™ gives them an option they never had before".
Building on the success of the UnderwayCTD system, Oceanscience has partnered with Valeport (UK) to develop an underway sound velocity (USV) profiling system. This new approach to sound-speed profiling is aimed at the hydrographic survey market, where stopping a ship for a sound-speed profile means significant loss of active survey time. The Underway SV system includes the new Valeport RapidSV "freefall" sound velocity profiler, allowing hydrographic surveyors the opportunity of fast, high quality SV profiles without ever having to stop a ship and suspend survey operations. The system offers a predictable tow path allowing it to be used when other equipment is being towed. The UnderwaySV, first displayed at the Oceanology 2010 exhibition, is scheduled for release in fall 2010, with several pre-production orders already taken.
Oceanscience designs and manufactures systems and deployment platforms for hydrologic and oceanographic instrumentation, including seafloor platforms, remotely-controlled and autonomous survey vessels, custom buoys, UnderwayCTD, and UnderwaySV.
