Summary
Transducer Frequency
High frequency: 19 - 38 kHz; Parametric signal: 0.5 - 6.0 kHz
Responsible Persons
Components
The system consits of the transducer, the electronic unit, two computers with installed data acquisition and processing software ParaStore and the subsidiary display on the bridge.
The transducer consists of four segments and is mounted without ice protection window in the box keel. The transducer transmits in the frequency range of 18 - 39 kHz and reaches water depth of 10 to 11000m. Frequency interferences generate "parametric low frequencies" between 0.5 and 6.0 kHz. Penetration depth into the sediment accounts for > 200m (depending on sediment properties) and the resolution is 6.1 cm.
Position
Data logging, storage and archiving
Logged parameters
Central geographical ship's position and time standard
Time synchronising is carried out via NMEA-telegram from the ZDA data set or via ntp between DIP2 and the central ntp-server of the on-board network. DIP2 functions as ntp-server for the computers and residual DIPs of the Parasound System.
The recorded geographical ship's position is the location of the central motion sensor MINS. The lever between transducer and the central motionsensor MINS is considered.
Rawdata storage on board
Mass data: The data acquisition and processing software ParaStore creates rawdata on the local drive depending on system configuration. PHF = primary high frequency beam amplitudes, SLF = secondary low frequency beam amplitudes, SHF = secondary high frequency beam amplitudes. Synchonising of the local data directory to mass storage has to be carried out manually. A reduced set of uncorrected measurement data is stored to the DShip system.

Data archiving on land
After the cruise, the operator transfers the measurement data along with required meta data to AWI after consultaion with the data scientist and AWI Logistics. Then, the data (including meta data) can be extracted from
https://www.pangaea.de/ (for authorized users only). The reduced, unevaluated DShip data set can be extracted from
https://dms.awi.de.
