Attention:
Please note that operations of the Sound Velocity Probe MIDAS SVP requires experienced scientific staff on board. The system is not operated by the ship's crew. Announce operations with the Sound Velocity Probe MIDAS SVP to AWI-Logistics prior to the cruise and clarify the data transfer after the cruise.
Summary
MIDAS Sound Velocity Profiler is used for measuring the speed along a vertical transect through the water column up to 6000m water depth. Two identical Valeport MIDAS probes exist on RV Polarstern, the second probe with serial number SN34079 serving as backup for SN41492.
