Marport and WHOI Cooperate

  31/07/2009
Marport Deep Sea Technologies has signed a Memorandum of Understanding agreement with the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI). The parties will work together to develop hardware and software products, or enhancements to existing products, in the areas of underwater acoustic sensor technology development and applications, environmental monitoring and control instrumentation, and education and training in the application and use of such technologies.
 

 

As part of the agreement, Marport will install its multi-function, phased array sonar on WHOI's research vessel Tioga, a coastal research vessel that serves ocean scientists and engineers working in the waters off the north-eastern United States.

Hydrographic Survey of Riverbed Erosion

Members of the US Geological Survey were filmed while out on the Missouri River at Williston, North Dakota, USA, performing a hydrographic survey to monitor the state of riverbed erosion. They were using a multibeam echo sounder which transmits sound energy and analyses the return signal (echo) that has bounced off the riverbed or other objects. Multibeam sonars emit sound waves from directly beneath a ship's hull to produce fan-shaped coverage of the riverbed. 


Gauge height at the Williston gauge was approximately 27.65 feet when this video was taken. Additional information about the USGS streamgauge at Williston is available at http://waterdata.usgs.gov/nd/nwis?program=nwisman&site_no=06330000
