The Underwater Vision Profiler was developed for in-situ analysis of
particles and zooplankton. When interfaced with CTD, the distribution of
particles can be displayed in real time together with the CTD data. The
UVP is an ideal instrument for investigating the shallow water.
UVP specific features:
- 20 Kg in air
- 500 m rated
- camera, computer, optics, pressure and angle sensors
- Self powered system (option)
- Can be mounted within a CTD frame
- Can be used on moorings for long-term monitoring
