Calibration
The EK80 system must be calibrated. Ideally, the calibration is executed before and after the measurement in the working area. So, the calibration parameters can be defined dependent the actual water conditions. For this reason a calibration on previous cruises will not lead to optimal results.
The calibration is performed using three winch systems positioning the calibration sphere below the transducers.
The winch system as well as their control must operated by the scientists. The laboratory electronic engineer may assist the setup of the system.
A calibration must be planned like all other scrientific work prior the cruise, because the calibration work needs time. Ideally half a day is requested, but will take longer (may be a whole day), if weather conditions decrease.
Ideally the calibration is performed in calm sea without wind. If wind forces the drift of the ship, the winches will not hang vertical anymore but will also drift. Under this conditions it is very difficult, to move the calibration sphere to the requested locations.
Furthermore, the calibration must be planned, because calibration equipment is not permanently on board. The winches etc. need storage capacities and are stored during harbour visit in Bremerhaven, only.
If you are planning to execute a calibration, please add the that work in formula "Einsatzplanung" and step in contact with schiffskoord@awi.de for further planning.
