New RBRquartz³ BPR|zero with AzeroA capabilities enables climate, ocean circulation, and geophysical studies

RBRquartz³ BPR (bottom pressure recorder)

Deepwater pressure measurements with the highest level of stability are critical for climate, global ocean circulation, and geophysical process studies. The RBRquartz³ BPR|zero is a special version of the RBRquartz³ BPR (bottom pressure recorder) implementing an internal barometer and switching valve. The novel AzeroA technique is used to provide in-situ reference measurements to correct for long term drift in the … Read More

RBR pressure sensors deployed to investigate ship wakes along the St. Lawrence Seaway

St Lawerence Seaway

The St. Lawrence Seaway has for sixty years provided a critical shipping route that connects the Atlantic Ocean to the Great Lakes. By a series of canals and locks built between 1955 and 1959, the Seaway covers 3,700km, from the Atlantic Ocean to the western limit of Lake Superior. It supports ships up to 225m long and with up to … Read More

New RBRquartz³ BPR (Bottom Pressure Recorder) Enables Tsunami Monitoring Programs

RBRquartz³ BPR in a case

July 2018 – Ottawa, ON, Canada Accurate and long-term measurements of sea level, tidal harmonics, and tsunami activity are a growing requirement to address global coastal developments and risk mitigation programs. Real-time tsunami monitoring and warning systems are being developed to save lives, model wave propagation, and quantify coastal hazards. At the heart of these measurements is the new RBRquartz³ … Read More
