HYDROSURVEYOR M9

EXCLUSIVE 5-BEAM DEPTH SOUNDING DEVICE

The HydroSurveyor-M9, powered by HYPACK, collects bathymetric, water column velocity profile and acoustic bottom tracking data as part of a hydrographic survey. Full water column velocity mapping, 5-beam depth sounding and acoustic bottom tracking (for speed over the ground when GPS is lost) provide comprehensive data for a complete solution with a single package.

Description

INTEGRATED WITH HYPACK® [Learn more] The HydroSurveyor is a system designed to collect bathymetric, water column velocity profile, and acoustic bottom tracking data as part of a hydrographic survey. The two key components of the system are the HydroSurveyor Acoustic Doppler Profiler (ADP®) platform, and the powerful, yet user-friendly, data collection software. With the HydroSurveyor platform, SonTek is able to offer an exclusive 5-beam depth sounding device, with built-in navigation, full water column velocity (currents) profiling, full compensation for speed of sound (with the CastAway-CTD), and integrated positioning solution.

SOFTWARE CENTRIC.

With built-in automatic data gridding and interpolation, even intricate surveys will not require specialized complex software, saving you time and money.

•   Sound speed integration and interpolation (with CastAway-CTD)
•   Speed over ground (Acoustic Bottom Tracking)
•   5-beam depth soundings (50° swath)
•   Water column velocity (currents) mapping
•   Automatic data gridding and interpolation
•   360° compass and two-axis tilt sensor
•   Interface for customer-supplied GPS and/or heading sensor

Addtional Options:

•   CastAway-CTD
•   Upgrade for existing RiverSurveyor M9 systems
•   SonTek RTK GPS or DGPS
•   Delrin/aluminum boat mount
