Description
Since 2004 the OD Nature has regularly taken measurements on the bed of the Belgian Continental Shelf, using a tripod measuring frame. This frame is fitted with a series of oceanographic sensors:
-current velocimeters such as an Acoustic Doppler Profiler (ADP) and an Acoustic Doppler Velocimeter (ADV),
-a CT-sensor which records temperature and salinity,
-optical (Optical Backscatter Sensors - OBS) and acoustic backscatter sensors (ADP, ADV and AquaScat) which measure the concentration of suspended sediment,
-an LISST 100x and an AquaScat which measure the size of particles in suspension,
-an instrument for passive acoustic monitoring of cetaceans (C-PoD)
-an instrument for passive sampling for chemical monitoring.
