ICES Guidelines for Multibeam Echosounder data. (Compiled September 2006)
(International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES), Copenhagen, Denmark, 2006)
If you are considering producing a hydrographic survey please read the following
information first. Your survey could be used to compile new or updated nautical
charts and so help i
mprove safety for mariners.Your ...
ICES Guidelines for Surface Drifting Buoy data. (Compiled March 20001; revised August 2006)
(International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES), Copenhagen, Denmark, 2006)
Drifting buoys (UNESCO, 1988) have a long history of use in oceanography, starting in late
1978 with the First GARP Global Experiment (FGGE), principally for the mea
surement of
currents by following the motions of ...
ICES Guidelines for CTD data. (Compiled March 2000; revised August 2001; June 2006)
(International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES), Copenhagen, Denmark, 2006)
CTD (conductivity, temperature and depth) instruments were introduced to the
oceanography
community in the late 1960's. Since then, the electronic measurement of
conduct
ivity,
temperature and pressure provided by ...
ICES Guidelines for XBT data. (Compiled January 2000; revised August 2001; April 2006)
(International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES), Copehagen, Denmark, 2006)
The Expendable Bathythermograph (XBT) has been used by oceanographers for many years to
obtain information on the temperature structure of the ocean to depths of up to
1500 meters. The
XBT probe is typically launched ...
ICES Guidelines for Profiling Float data. (Compiled January 2001; revised April 2006)
(International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES), Copenhagen, Denmark, 2006)
Profiling floats are neutrally buoyant devices that periodically surface to transmit data to a
satellite system. The float drifts along a specified pressure surface for
some period of time
(typically seven to 10 days) ...
ICES Guidelines for Moored ADCP data. (Compiled October 1999; revised August 2001; August 2006)
(International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES), Copenhagen, Denmark, 2006)
ADCPs (acoustic doppler current profiler) were first introduced to the oceanography community
in the late 1970s (Rowe and Young, 1979). The instrument measure
s water velocity over a range
of depths using doppler ...
ICES Data Guidelines for Shipboard ADCP data. (Compiled May 1999; revised April 2006)
(International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES), Copenhagen, Denmark, 2006)
ADCPs (acoustic doppler current profiler) were first introduced to the oceanography community
in the late 1970s (Rowe and Young, 1979). The instrument measures water veloc

ICES Guidelines for Moored Current Meter data. (Compiled October 1999; revised August 2001; April 2009)
(International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES), Copenhagen, Denmark, 2009)
Current meters are primarily used for measuring water velocity through time. Moored
instruments may use mechanical (rotor and vane), electromagmetic, o
r acoustic technology to
perform the measurements. Current ...
