Overview
The Doppler Current Profiler Sensor (DCPS) is a medium-range, 600kHz current profiler smart sensor. It features innovative development of the acoustic profiling ability to collect high-quality current information also on moving and tilting platforms.

Cables
Available with a 300m, 4500m, or 6000m depth rating, the DCPS can be connected to a SeaGuardII or third-party systems through the RS-232 interface. This makes the DCPS the ideal cost-effective solution for obtaining current profiles in systems already containing a data logger.

Benefits

  • Built-in solid state 3-axis tilt-compensated compass
  • Heading and tilt compensation for each ping
  • Insensitive to fouling
  • Low maintenance needs
  • Direct readout of engineering data
  • Output interval from 30 seconds to 2 hours
  • RS-232 output for integration to most third-party data loggers
  • Configurable output for easy integration
  • Cell size selectable from 0.5 to 5 meters
  • Up to 150 individual cells divided into three columns

Wildfire Prevention in the Sierra Nevada Region with the Yuba Watershed Institute

Though recent wildfires have sparked new conversations about wildfire management and response, groups like the Yuba Watershed Institute have been monitoring the forests and water resources of the Sierra Nevada region for decades, managing approximately 5,000 acres of land with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and about 7,000 acres in private land partnerships. The goal of the Institute is to work with local communities and land agencies to improve watershed and forestry management through informed practices and public outreach. The goals of the Yuba Watershed Institute are three-fold: Improve the ability of fire suppression agencies like the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection ( CAL FIRE ) and the US Forest Service.

Wave Sensors Integration with NexSens Buoys: A Cutting-Edge Solution for Wave Measurment

Real-time wave data supports accurate weather prediction, safe and efficient maritime operations, and provides valuable safety and operating condition information for recreation and commercial fishing. Understanding wave dynamics also helps with the design of protective coastal structures like seawalls, breakwaters, and jetties. It also supports better prediction of their impact on sediment transport and coastal geomorphology. Wave data is a key factor in qualifying and designing offshore wind farms and harnessing kinetic energy for electrical generation. It helps with the understanding of ocean-atmosphere interactions and contributes to studies of sea-level rise and climate change impacts.
