Model Micro SV -Ideal For Measuring Sea Surface Sound Velocity For Multi-Beam Systems

SHARE

AMLs’ Micro SV provides single-sensor, direct measurement of sound velocity in a very small package. It is ideal for measuring sea surface sound velocity for multi-beam systems. It is also appropriate for integration into AUV or ROV systems. Like all AML sound velocimeters, the Micro SV directly measures the time-of-flight of an acoustic ping. Time-of-flight measurement technology is between 5 and 10x more accurate than traditional CTD based sound velocity equations such as Chen & Millero or Del Grosso.
