| Definition | A vertical microstructure turbulence profiler for the measurement of dissipation-scale turbulence in oceans and lakes up to 500 m depth. It is equipped with microstructure velocity probes (shear probes), high-resolution temperature sensors (fast thermistors), pressure sensor and three-axis high accuracy accelerometers. The instrument includes a bottom landing guard and a deck unit for data communication. Optional extras include high-accuracy CTD sensors either a SBE7-38 microstructure conductivity sensor or SBE-3F/SBE-4C temperature and conductivity sensors. The VMP 500 is suitable for deployment from small vessels and can be powered by a 12 V car battery (using an inverter). |
