The Near Shore and Riverbed Profiling System uses a hydrostatic pressure-based measurement principle. Hydrostatic pressure sensor measures the depth of the water column. Specialized electronics are used to remove fast fluctuations caused by waves, boat movement and other water movements.
The profiler is carried from a boat or dingy to the point where the mapping of the ocean floor is to begin. It is then lowered/dropped towards the ocean floor. The rope connected to the profiles is then dragged towards the beach at a constant speed. The profiler records the depth continuously while the profiler is pulled towards the shore.
The profiler continuously records measurement data every 2 seconds during the profiling operation. The recorded data is presented as depth versus time, which provides the profile of the ocean floor or river bed. The data from the profiler can be easily down loaded to a computer through a marine connector and the data is made available in Microsoft Excel/CSV file format.
The profiler can be connected to ropes at both sides of the river. Surveyors can hold the ropes at either bank of the river. The profiler can be pulled from one bank to the other according to the convenience of the user. The rope arrangement also allows the profiler to be pulled back in the opposite direction if it becomes stuck on underwater materials.
