Professor Ryota Hino of Tohoku University uses RBRsolo T|deep|slow and RBRduet T.D|deep loggers attached to a submarine acoustic ranging device to investigate seafloor crustal deformation. The submarine acoustic rangefinder accurately measures the distance between two points by sending a call signal from another device installed on the seabed at a remote location and measuring the time until the response signal … Read More about Investigating seafloor crustal deformation with RBR loggers

RBR Delivers Larger Order to Support Great Lakes RAEON Program
Scientists have started a coordinated effort to study and monitor the health of the Great Lakes using a large number of RBR loggers and multiparameter sensors. RBR has recently delivered hundreds of world-class scientific instruments to meet the critical requirements of the Real-time Aquatic Ecosystem Observation Network (RAEON). “RAEON will support comprehensive and multidisciplinary research to understand and manage … Read More about RBR Delivers Larger Order to Support Great Lakes RAEON Program
RBR array collects fine-scale measurements in the strongly stratified centimeters-thick boundary layer under seasonal lake ice
Researchers from Germany, Russia and Finland deployed 12 RBRsolo³ T temperature loggers into an ice-covered lake in northern Finland to study heat transfer at the ice-water interface. The fine-scale measurements they collected are helping them to identify the role of turbulence in the boundary layer. The 2018 study, “Turbulent mixing and heat fluxes under lake ice: the role of seiche … Read More about RBR array collects fine-scale measurements in the strongly stratified centimeters-thick boundary layer under seasonal lake ice
Uncovering the Ocean Dynamics Off the Coast of Madeira Island, Portugal
In the lee of Madeira Island, a famous-to-oceanographers formation occurs. To better understand ‘Madeira-Mode Water’, a team of researchers from the Oceanic Observatory of Madeira (OOM) set out in July, 2018, with an RBRconcerto³ CTD mounted to a Del Mar Oceanographic (DMO) Wirewalker and observed the daily thermocline cycle at a new level of detail. From the Portuguese naval ship … Read More about Uncovering the Ocean Dynamics Off the Coast of Madeira Island, Portugal
From Antarctica to Jupiter’s Moons
Since 2014, a group of researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology (GIT) have been working in Antarctica to develop the underwater vehicle called the Icefin. Funded by NASA through the RISE UP (Ross Ice Shelf and Europa Underwater Probe) grant, the Icefin has been developed to study the under ice conditions on Jupiter’s moon Europa. The GIT team are … Read More about From Antarctica to Jupiter’s Moons
