NAMMU
Broadband OBS-System In a New Design With Many Unique Features
NAMMU, The Next Generation LOBSTER, is a Broadband OBS-System in a new design with many unique features. In the robust and shock resistant syntactic foam shell are integrated a titanium pressure tube of 210mm diameter with broadband seismometer “Trillium Compact 120 sec”, data logger “6D6” and battery pack, as well as titanium releaser KUMQuat, hydrophone and head buoy. Flasher, radio beacon and flag for localization are mounted outside.
Description
This configuration allows the recording of one year. For 3-year recording, additional batteries are added with a power backpack for the OBS. Hence the OBS can also be deployed in extremely remote areas with access every couple of years only.
The utmost small size of half of a pallet simplifies the handling and enables stacking three of them in two rows on one pallet.
Anchor and float are asymmetrically designed: NAMMU descends to the seafloor and stays there for data recording in a horizontal position but ascends to the water surface in a vertical position.
Thanks to the new Data Logger “6D6, a couple of unique features are possible – in short:
modular system with multiple channels: starting with four seismic channels, one can freely add additional channels for different purposes
- GPS unit and also AIS can be incorporated
- CSAC (Chip Scale Atomic Clock) is available
- It is possible to swap the storage device from outside the housing while recording
