RBRvirtuoso³ D|tide16 tide gauges support iXblue’s 3D seafloor mapping and New Zealand’s national tide modeling

Oceanographer on dock

In 2019, iXblue’s New Zealand office first deployed RBRvirtuoso³ D|tide16 loggers to measure the tides, in support of their high-resolution 3D sonar-generated maps of the seafloor. High–accuracy, long-term and low-drift tide measurements are required in iXblue’s work, to remove tides from survey data, to link geodetic land and ocean data and to model the tides in coastal regions. iXblue specializes … Read More about RBRvirtuoso³ D|tide16 tide gauges support iXblue’s 3D seafloor mapping and New Zealand’s national tide modeling
