Marine Magnetics - Marine Magnetometer
The SeaSPY2 is a marine magnetometer designed by Marine Magnetics for high sensitivity geophysical surveys. Known for its reliable one-man deployable design, the SeaSPY2 weighs 27 pounds, and offers high sensitivity data acquisition with unmatched absolute accuracy and no heading error. The device operates effectively in any orientation, providing flexibility for surveys in diverse environments worldwide. The magnetometer uses maintenance-free Overhauser sensors, requiring no ambient magnetic field calibration. Integrative capabilities allow it to interface with side scan sonars and AUVs (Autonomous Underwater Vehicles), enhancing its usability in various marine exploration applications. Quick glance diagnostics and a firmware updater tool ensure ease of operation and update handling, complemented by the BOB Survey Software for data analysis.
Marine Magnetics - Explorer Magnetometer for High Sensitivity Surveys
The Explorer magnetometer stands out as a compact and lightweight high sensitivity device designed for comprehensive geomagnetic surveying across the globe. With a weight of just 4.5 kg, it is optimized for single-person operations without sacrificing measurement accuracy. The Explorer delivers absolute precision without facing export restrictions, thanks to its high sensitivity Overhauser sensor technology. This system operates with ultra-low power consumption at 2W, facilitating extensive surveys in any geographical orientation while negating dead zones typically known to hinder conventional magnetometers. Notable for its maintenance-free operation, the Explorer de-emphasizes typical constraints such as heading errors and sensor warm-up time, making it an ideal tool for diverse and advanced applications in marine environments. Compatible with BOB Survey Software, it is designed for straightforward integration with various AUVs, maintaining high standards of reliability and operational efficiency in diverse marine conditions.
Marine Magnetics - Magnetometer for AUV Integration
The Explorer v.AUV is a specialized magnetometer designed for integration with autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), offering neutral buoyancy to maintain a precise position close to the sea floor. This capability allows the Explorer v.AUV to effectively follow underwater topography and detect unexploded ordnance (UXO). It was tested alongside the Iver2 AUV in San Diego Bay, demonstrating proficiency in identifying small and near-surface targets, with gradient maps clearly showing UXO presence. It employs advanced algorithms to convert total field measurements to gradient data, important for detailed underwater surveys. This magnetometer enhances the ability to carry out underwater surveys despite complex geological backgrounds and environmental challenges. With low power consumption and minimal drag, it is exceptionally suited for deployment with various AUV systems, enabling effective detection of targets weighing as little as 1kg, crucial in subsea exploration and engineering applications.
Marine Magnetics - Stationary Magnetometer
The Sentinel2 represents a precision tool engineered for enhancing magnetometric survey accuracy by mitigating background variations prevalent in atmospheric conditions. It is designed for ease of deployment, being compact and lightweight, thereby reducing setup time and complexity. Leveraging a stationary magnetometer approach, it compensates for both random and systematic deviations caused by weather patterns, such as magnetic storms, which can diminish data quality. This feature is critically important during adverse weather conditions, ensuring that surveys remain reliable and interpretable. The Sentinel2 is compatible with a range of support software, including BOB Survey Software, which further aids in data management and processing, making it adept for field operations requiring comprehensive magnetic surveying capabilities.
Marine Magnetics - Underwater Base Station System
The Sea Sentinel Underwater Base Station System, developed by Marine Magnetics, is designed to enhance the accuracy of marine data collection by compensating for background variations. This system is equipped with BaseLINK Software for Windows, an interface cable, and a universal AC input battery charger, all contained in a heavy-duty case. The main cylinder of the system weighs 14 kilograms, while the total shipping weight is approximately 29 kilograms. The Sea Sentinel setup is engineered for high performance in demanding underwater environments, offering a dependable solution for maintaining data integrity under varying conditions. Its durability and ease of use make it an excellent choice for scientists and researchers who require precise data analysis in the field of marine magnetics.
