More Instruments for China
China Ocean Technology Centre in Tianjin has for years used equipment from Aanderaa Instruments in Norway to measure temperature, current speed and current direction in the ocean. Now the centre has bought another thirteen units of the Doppler Current Meter RCM 9 and RCM 11.
China Ocean Technology Centre is a research centre outside Beijing and has for a long time studied changes in the ocean.
The Doppler Current Meter is well suited for deep-sea operations and has a depth capacity of 6,000 metres below sea level. The meters delivered to the Chinese Centre have sensors that measure sea temperature, conductivity, current speed and direction in the water.
The new instruments delivered by Aanderaa have just been moored at the bottom. Each mooring has a couple of Doppler Current Meters with glass floats between the meters to keep them in place.
