Attention:
Please note that operations of the C-Keel Sound Velocity Probe requires experienced scientific staff on board. The system is not operated by the ship's crew. Announce operations with the C-Keel Sound Velocity Probe to AWI-Logistics prior to the cruise and clarify the data transfer after the cruise.
Summary
The sound velocity transducer is used for measuring the speed of sound in the water column. The data are used for Parasound and Hydrosweep operation.
