SonTek Products
The First Handheld Castable Instrument That Provides Instantaneous Profiles of Temperature, Salinity, and Sound Speed
The CastAway-CTD is a lightweight, easy-to-use instrument designed for quick and accurate conductivity, temperature, and depth profiles. Each cast is automatically referenced with both time and location using its built-in GPS receiver. The CastAway software displays profiles of the casts in addition to mapping the locations of the data collection points. Data integrate directly with RiverSurveyor Live and HYPACK software, and can also be exported to MATLAB for applying sound speed corrections.
The rugged, non-corrosive housing, AA battery power, and computer-free operation reflect the technician-friendly pedigree of the CastAway-CTD.
HydroSurveyor
Exclusive 5-Beam depth Sounding Device
The HydroSurveyor is a system designed to collect bathymetric, water column velocity profile, and acoustic bottom tracking data as part of a hydrographic survey. The two key components of the system are the HydroSurveyor Acoustic Doppler Profiler (ADP) platform, and the powerful, yet user-friendly, data collection software. With the HydroSurveyor platform, SonTek is able to offer an exclusive 5-beam depth sounding device, with built-in navigation, full water column velocity (currents) profiling, full compensation for speed of sound (with the CastAway-CTD), and an integrated positioning solution.
