Algal blooms and anoxic events can be harmful to people, animals, drinking water, and have a negative impact on aquatic recreation. The Wirewalker can assist in early detection of (and recovery from) an event.
Whether it’s turbid plumes stirred up from dredging operations or natural phenomena, the Wirewalkers rapid profiling becomes a fantastic monitoring solution.
From temperature profiles and turbulence to HABs and anoxia, the Wirewalker is a great solution for autonomous freshwater science. You may be surprised with how little energy is required for wave driven profiling.
Measurement and detection of oil below the surface is made simple through the Wirewalkers ability to constantly and rapidly profile up to 1000m deep.
The Wirewalker provides an excellent platform for multi-parameter monitoring of human impacts on the ocean. Improve effectiveness by increasing information regarding the ocean’s variability and response to perturbation.
Like ARGO/BGC-ARGO on steroids, the Wirewalker collects an astonishing amount of high-quality water column data in the upper ocean.
The Wirewalker is great for site assessments and can help keep stocks healthy by continuous profiling a variety of water quality parameters. Data can also be telemetered in real-time.
The Wirewalker puts your sensors within a meter of the surface while also collecting high-resolution sub-surface profiles necessary for measuring large and small scale heat and gas exchange.
With much larger amplitudes and wavelengths than what is seen on the surface, internal waves are often measured by rapid temperature profiling. The Wirewalker expands upon this with potential for profiling with a multi-parameter suite of sensors.
The Wirewalker excels at measuring the mixed layer. Observations of small-scale variations in buoyancy input, momentum, and heat are made possible through fast, continuous profiling.
As a force multiplier, the Wirewalker frees up your ship for other operations while delivering high-resolution mission critical subsea information in real-time, for long durations, autonomously, in forward areas, and at minimal expense.
