Ageotec

Ageotec has expanded its range of Agencies by introducing two prestigious firms working in the field of wave and current radar systems: Radac and Helzel Wera.

The Radac systems are very accurate radar level gauges to measure waves, tides, storm surge in a single point.

The Wera systems provide reliable data of ocean surface currents as well as wave height and direction over long distances (> 200 km).

Ageotec has realized “Lander”, an oceanographic multipurpose module, performed for CoNISMa and Bari University. Lander took place inside the project "Coralfish", focused on surveying the ecosystem present on the Ionio seabed.

The instruments installed on Lander are:

• Acoustic Modem, for communication with vessel
• Acoustic Doppler Current Meter, for current measurements
• Altimeter, to measure the distance between the module and the seabed
• Electronic Gyro and Inclinometer, to control the module position
• Multiparametric Probe, to measure physical and chemical water parameters
• Two underwater cameras with led light, for videos

On 9 June 2010, c/o Ageotec office in Bologna, was held the first QPS user group meeting. The QPS technicians have presented the new developments of the software with particular attention to the new moduls:

• Laser scanning acquisition in combination with Multibeam
• Processing and Mapping Manager

They have also answered about the major problems encountered by the users during the use of the software.

Finally, the participants could see a demonstration of data acquisition using Laser Scanner.

Ageotec will attend the 39^th CIESM Congress in Venice, Italy, from 10 to 14 May 2010.

In this occasion Ageotec will exhibit his own products, including Idrowell, Idroprobe, IM71/81  multiparametric probes,

We hope to see you in Venice soon.
